Need some help to make cocktails with panache? Here are some tipsfrom Vintage Cocktails: Chilled glasses are a must. Place them inthe freezer an hour before use, or flash-chill by filling withcrushed ice 15 minutes ahead of time. Make sure that soda, fruitjuices and other mixers are thoroughly chilled. Make drinks inbatches, rather than one at a time. Individually made drinks becomewarm more quickly. Use footed cocktail glasses when appropriate, andhandle all glasses from the base. This minimizes the transference ofbody heat to the glass. Once made, a cocktail must be servedimmediately. If not, it will begin to separate. Never refill aglass. Use a clean, fresh, well-chilled glass for each drink - evenif your guests are far past noticing.
