Although the traditional method (pouring, swishing, dumping) works fine, thanks to Food52’s resident drinks expert John deBary, we’ve learned a better, cooler way to rinse a cocktail—and all you need is a tiny spray bottle. For John’s preferred method, you’ll pour an ounce of the rinsing spirit into a small (roughly 50ml) spray bottle. Then, instead of pouring, swishing, and dumping, simply give the empty cocktail glass a few sprays and the job is done.
