Supplies/Ingredients for a Beginner Mixologist

I like the OXO jigger and OXO Hawthorne strainer. These days, I prefer a Parisian shaker or a combo of regular/short tins rather than the usual tin/glass combo.

When my friend first started getting interested in mixology, I bought him a bottle of Luxardo maraschino liqueur, and told him to buy Imbibe! If you want to get through Imbibe! the liqueurs to buy would be Luxardo maraschino and Grand Marnier. With more modern books, such as "The Essential Cocktail" by Dale Degroff, Cointreau is used more often.

I also think the Yarai mixing glass is very pretty and would make a good gift.

Is my knife too sharp?

Use the knife for a little bit, it will quickly go away after a little bit of biting into your board. And apply less force?

Anaheim, California: It's Half About the Bacon at Slater's 50/50

My favorite meat there is actually the turkey. The texture of the beef patties is not loose enough for my taste.
