Martinis last month we delicately stirred on ice to control how much water diluted the drink. Our goal with sours on the other hand is not just to chill and lightly dilute it with water, but to aerate it so we get that nice frothy cold foam on top. Ideally you’ll want some type of tin shaker, because the metal will chill from the ice and in turn help chill your drink with less water melting in it.

11. The Daiquiri: The Seasoning
Citrus garnishes are pretty self-explanatory. Mmmm fruit. You can smell it, you can squeeze it in your drink for more juicey fun, you can just eat it and have mini plastic sword fights with your co-drinkers. What’s not to like.
10. The Daiquiri: The Balance
Fresh squeezed fruit. Not always available to pirates, but usually in stock at ye ol’ grocer. Since each piece of fruit you buy can vary significantly from sweet to sour, bitter or tart, the proportions you use and how much sweetener you add will vary a little for each drink as well. (oh darn, taste testing again)
