Hummingbirds are both beautiful and fast moving so it can be hard to get a picture of them to capture the moment when you’re lucky enough to spot one. Fortunately, the same can’t be said for the popular hummingbird cocktail that goes down best when you really take the time to relax and enjoy it. Here’s how to make this flavourful cocktail:

A blender is a common household appliance that is also used very often in the world of bartending. There are different grades of blenders depending on the use, and if you’re really serious about making home cocktails a thing, you can invest in a high-end one that’s good for frozen drinks and smoothies. A regular blender should do the trick as well.
Cocktail jiggers are the equivalent of measuring cups for bartenders. You can get them in a range of sizes from 0.5 - 2.5 oz. Jiggers are used to measure shots or cocktails. While searching for cocktail recipes you might see the word jigger used as a unit of measurement in some places, and now you’ll know what it means!
A cocktail shaker is one of the most commonly used tools by bartenders. This tool makes preparing certain cocktails a whole lot easier in terms of mixing. Also, ice can be added to quickly cool drinks that need to be served right away.

Many bartenders use hand juicers to extract juice from citrus fruits. This tool can also be used for vegetables. Lime, lemon, orange, and tomato are common food items that can be juiced with this item, and it is worth investing in a good one as this can really save some time when making cocktails.
A mixing glass is a bartender essential, and it is most commonly used with a bar spoon and strainer in the cocktail preparation process. With these tools professional and even amateur bartenders can stir and strain their drinks and also cool drinks with little dilution.
A bar spoon is often used for mixing and layering drinks. This spoon is typically long-handled and can be used for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The length of this tool comes in handy particularly to get to the bottom of tall jugs and tumblers for ease of mixing.
A chinois is a useful tool that can be used for straining. It is a conical shape and has very fine mesh. There are different types of chinoises, and they are often used by chefs, home cooks, and even bartenders. This tool is great for creating super smooth cocktails.
If you want to get an ice cube tray or two to add to your home bartending kit, it won’t hurt to get a personalized one. This adds some fun to simply adding ice into shakers or directly into your drink. There are lots of different sizes and molds when it comes to ice trays but keeping it simple also works.
A muddler is similar to a pestle and can be used to crush or grind fruits, herbs and spices in the bottom of a glass while making a cocktail. This method is used to enhance the flavour of the drink with key ingredients.
A highball glass is a tall tumbler commonly used to serve cocktails. This glass can hold 8 to 12 fl. oz. and it is comparable to a Collins glass though the highball glass is slightly shorter and wider than a Collins.
Perfect for creating fun memories with the whole family, Beaches Resorts are the ideal destination for a fun
