pointing upwards ( ). Screw the cup onto the body of the pressurizer unit until tight. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
2. Disassemble Perlini
Unscrew the upper body from the lower body, and remove the cap ( ). Inspect components
for wear or damage. DO NOT USE PRODUCT IF DAMAGED. Make sure the gasket is properly
installed.
3. Mix cocktail and add ice
Mix the ingredients of your cocktail in the lower body as you would with a cocktail shaker, and fi ll
with cubed ice ( ).
¢
Liquids must be ice cold to produce satisfactory carbonation levels. If ice is not used, liquid
ingredients must be pre-chilled.
4. Assemble Perlini
Screw the two halves of the shaker together fi nger tight; screw the cap on fi nger tight ( ).
¢
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Overtightening can damage the components, and make Perlini
diffi cult to disassemble. Only fi ngertip pressure is necessary to tighten the cap and upper
body.
5. Pressurize Perlini
Holding the Perlini shaker at a 45-degree angle, press the nozzle of the pressurizer against the
conical orifi ce in the cap, and press the trigger on the handle ( ). Hold the trigger down for
8-10 seconds, or until the gas stops fl owing.
¢
Before shaking the cocktail, verify that you have a good seal by listening for escaping gas.
If you hear gas escaping, slowly remove the cap, and unscrew the two halves to check the
seal.
6. Shake
Shake the pressurized cocktail moderately for 7-10 seconds.
7. Rest
Allow the shaken cocktail to sit for 15-30 seconds to allow the foam and bubbles to die down.
8. Slowly remove cap and serve
SLOWLY open the cap ( ). If it looks like the foam will escape the top the shaker, close the cap
and give the liquid more time to settle down.
Remove the cap and pour the drink directly from the spout through the built-in strainer into the
serving glass ( ).
Separate the two halves of the shaker and remove the cap. Rinse in tap water with each and every
use and set aside to dry.
