Aquafaba: Egg Free Foam for Cocktails

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What it is and why it foams

Aquafaba is nothing more exotic than the liquid in a can of chickpeas, the stuff most cooks pour down the sink without a thought. While the chickpeas sit in that liquid, proteins and starches drift out of the beans and into the water around them. By the time you open the can, the liquid holds a loose copy of what egg white holds: proteins that stretch, grab air, and hold a bubble together long enough to matter.

Shaken or Stirred: How to Choose

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The rule in plain terms

Look at the ingredient list before you touch the ice. If fresh lemon juice or lime juice appears on it, or fruit juice, egg white, cream, or a thick syrup, the drink gets shaken. If every ingredient pours from a bottle of spirit, vermouth, liqueur, amaro, or bitters, and there is no juice anywhere in the build, the drink gets stirred.

The shaken shelf on this site makes the pattern easy to see. A Classic Daiquiri, a Classic Margarita, a Whiskey Sour, and a Paper Plane all carry fresh citrus, so all four shake. The stirred shelf is just as clear. A Classic Martini, a Manhattan, a Negroni, and a Traditional Old Fashioned are built from bottles only, so all four stir.
