Absomphe Report post Posted September 1, 2013 I used to use a fountain, but I find that a slow, steady drip from a sports bottle does just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peridot Report post Posted September 1, 2013 Ha, someone here, can't remember who, posted a photo years ago of their setup that was made out of a coat hanger that suspends the water bottle so that it drips hands-free. The cheapest and best poor man's fountain evar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OMG_Bill Report post Posted September 8, 2013 Sandpedlar had a sport bottle suspended by a wire hanger....I think. That was awhile back. She's terrific! *smile* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buddhasynth Report post Posted September 8, 2013 practice makes perfect as well. I made a fountain awhile back but now only break it out if there's several people over, which doesn't happen too often. then I was a brouille guy for awhile. Then we got the water filter that allows me to drip directly into the glass.Now, on a good day I can get a nice fine stream from a straight-up mason jar full of ice water. but it didn't happen overnight...............

Clement Arnoux (Aggelos) Report post Posted September 17, 2013 IMHO there's nothing like a fountain for a perfect drip, and the best tuned it is, the better the drip. Most of the time I use a "La Véritable" for reviews or historical. But it ain't my goto weapon ain't it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brennivin Report post Posted September 19, 2013 I use a cocktail shaker that has about a 1/4" lip around the pouring sieve. Fill it with ice, fill it with water, pour slowly, but certainly more than a drip. May constitute a 'power louche' but it louches nonetheless. The extra lip on this particular shaker prevents that back-drip you often get when trying to pour slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JosephLabrecque Report post Posted September 20, 2013 The "cocktail shaker method" is one I frequently encounter in bars. I find it can work quite well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
