Rolling
Also known as: Roll, Rollen
A gentle mixing technique in which a drink is rolled back and forth between shaker cups without being shaken.
In rolling, the drink with ice is gently tilted and rolled in the closed shaker or between two cups. It chills and combines but takes up less air than when shaken vigorously.
The technique is often mentioned for drinks with tomato juice, such as the Bloody Mary, so that the drink does not become too frothy. It sits between stirring and shaking.
