In recent years, the world of cocktails has experienced a remarkable evolution. The cocktail scene, which was once dominated by timeless classics such as Martini, Old Fashion and the Mojito, has become a playing field for creativity, where mixologists transfer the limits of flavor, technique, the technique, ingredients and presentation. Innovative cocktails are no longer just a passenger trend, they are a defining movement that is remodeling the entire overview of drinks. While innovation in cocktails is not new, it has recently reached new heights. Bartenders have long experienced spirits, mixing and flavors, but the current approach has risen to the art category. The world boom of artisanal cocktail bars, the emphasis on ingredients of local origin and the growing influence of food culture on beverage programs have contributed to the demand for more imaginative and complex drinks.
Today’s drinkers are no longer content with only one drink, they yearn for an experience. They look for a story in each sip, an adventure for their palate and a cocktail that surprises and delight at all times.
