The first cocktails were most likely enjoyed by British navy sailors, and pirates during the 1500s and they consisted of a rough moonshine rum that was mixed with citrus fruit, sugar, tea and other spices to enhance (mostly dull the flavor) of the rum.

Stirring is one way to mix a cocktail, such as a gin or whiskey cocktail, gently mixing the distilled spirit to maintain a balance of flavor.
For this bar spoons are essential, with their long twisted handles that make it easy to stir in a smooth circular motion. Bar spoons gently stir the ingredients to just the right dilution without breaking down the ice. They also help bartenders to layer drinks, pouring a second liquor or mix down along the stem of the bar spoon to create a layered drink that’s visually appealing.
