What Is It?
A Dry Shake means shaking your cocktail at room temperature without adding ice at first. After vigorously shaking for at least 20 seconds, add ice and shake once more before pouring the drink.
A Dry Shake is good for recipes that include egg whites. When shaken correctly it will create a beautifully frothy, silky, white foam on top of your cocktail.
Egg whites are usually part of Sour cocktails, such as a Whiskey Sour, Ramos Gin Fizz, or Pisco Sour.
