Anyone try a drink using the regal shake?
In an age of complicated bar maneuvers, the methodology is mind-bendingly simple: Just throw a grapefruit twist in with the contents of a cocktail, then shake and strain.
Lanterns Keep co-owner Theo Lieberman came to the idea after a particularly long and stressful day. Since his mother had used grapefruit oils as a homeopathic remedy during his childhood, he threw a peel in with his daiquiri components. The results were surprising: “It dried the drink out, made it smoother,” he says.

This was fun!
Luke - thanks so much! Love hearing that. And it means we’re doing our job.
Hope to see you soon for the 2012 Barrel-Aged bitters!
They’re coming soon! (They’re seasonal, so look for them mid summer…. and stock up!)
Mmmmm…bourbon vanilla cherries.
I feel like Boston Shaker is my second home - the staff is extremely knowledgable, helpful and interested in helping me learn more about the art of cocktail making. I’ve picked up most of my favorite bar tools, bitters, recipe books and glassware from them and am very pleased. Cheers!
