Once upon a time, all you needed for cocktail-making was liquor, ice, and a glass. Now, a cocktail isnt complete without freshly muddled fruit and herbs. Michael Cecconi, New York mixologist at Back Forty who also works at the Savoy and teaches at the Insititute for Culinary Education, has paid his muddling dues and wants to share his hard-earned knowledge. He does not think that drinks should have broken pieces of glass within them, for one. He recommends getting the right type of muddler and unbreakable glass, then using your arms weight to help your motion.
