1. Story time
The Swimming Pool was first mixed by Charles Schumann in Munich in the famous Schumanns Bar. His original recipe is almost identical to the recipe you will find in your cocktail box. He also served the cocktail in a fancy glass filled with ice, which is why the cocktail is actually not a cocktail at all, but one of the fancy drinks.
2. You need these utensils
Cocktail shakers and jiggers
The cocktail shaker is important for mixing the drink with ice. This creates the creamy, cloudy consistency of a cocktail. For this you can easily use a stainless steel cocktail shaker, which you can also use in our jigger Cocktail boxes find. And what is a jigger? Jiggers are the small measuring cups that bartenders use at every bar to measure the ingredients. This is very important so that you don't accidentally add too much lime juice, for example, and the cocktail then contains too much acid.
Fancy cocktail glasses
These glasses are perfect for cocktails of all kinds. On the one hand, the shape is good for keeping the cocktail cool and on the other hand, the shape is elegant and therefore ensures a great look. The swimming pool was also mixed into a fancy cocktail for the first time.
