Cocktails are showstoppers of any celebration, be it in a house party or at a bar. The presentation of these classic drinks by the bartenders in a genius and playful way is enough to impress anyone. The skill and ability to shake, stir and experiment is probably the coolest thing in a cocktail party. Also, making the perfect combination of wonderful flavours is also considered a great talent in the world of ‘mixology’.
Cocktail is an alcoholic mixed beverage that is multi-layered with varieties of flavourful ingredients that give it a sensational taste. The combination of different spirits, along with other ingredients like fruit juice, cream, milk or flavoured syrup give it the special taste that it has. There are infinite types of cocktails based on the number and kinds of ingredients added. Usually, a strong alcohol such as tequila, gin, rum or vodka is skillfully combined with other ingredients like supplementary beverage, fruits and herbs. There are no rules about how a cocktail should be made, it completely depends on the ingredients and creativity. The same creativity applies to their names as well, it completely depends on the mixologist and their idea behind a concoction.
Here are few tips to make cocktails:
