1. Most perishable ingredient...
Lime juice: it oxidizes 20 to 25 minutes after squeezing, so squeeze a la minute. Keep limes at room temperature for optimal juicing results.
2. Don't overlook...
Bitters: they are the salt and pepper of the cocktail world and add complexity. See which bitters Tony recommends.
3. Age matters...
Don't keep vermouth too long. It's an aromatized wine, and it will go off. Buy 375 ml bottles and keep them in the refrigerator, but only for about one month.
4. How to ruin a good cocktail...
Stale ice: nothing will screw up a drink more than old ice.
5. How to keep mint in mint condition...
Upside down in a glass of cold water. This will keep the mint beautiful and perky.
