Well Spirits (total and per spirit)

Method

Build and serve the Well Spirits pour

1

Chill the glass

If you prefer your spirits slightly chilled, place a rocks glass or small tumbler in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice while you prepare the spirits and discard the ice just before serving.

2

Measure spirits

Using a jigger, measure 1 oz of each spirit: vodka, gin, white rum, blanco tequila, and bourbon. Pour each measured spirit into a mixing glass or directly into the chilled serving glass if you prefer a build-in-glass presentation.

3

Add ice

Add 1 cup of fresh cubed ice to the mixing glass (or fill the serving glass with ice if building in-glass). The ice will chill and slightly dilute the combined spirits for a smoother sip.

4

Stir gently

If using a mixing glass, stir the spirits and ice gently with a bar spoon for about 15–20 seconds to chill and harmonize the flavors. Do not shake — shaking will over-dilute and aerate the straight spirits.

5

Strain or pour

If you used a mixing glass, strain the chilled spirit blend into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice (if desired). If you built it in the serving glass, simply leave as-is.

6

Garnish and serve

Finish with a lemon twist or a lime wedge on the rim for an optional bright aromatic note. Serve immediately. Recommend sipping slowly or offering as a straightforward well-pour flight.
