The Art of a great cocktail đč
~~~The definition of a cocktail~~~
A cocktail is an alcoholic mixed drink, which is either a combination of spirits, or one or more spirits mixed with
other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream. There are various types of cocktails, based on the
number and kind of ingredients added.
Â
The origins of the word cocktail have been debated. The first known written
mention of cocktail as an alcoholic beverage appeared in The Balance and Columbian Repository. The early to mid-2000s saw
the rise of cocktail culture through the style of mixology which mixes traditional
cocktails and other novel ingredients.
~~~But what is mixology?~~~
At its most basic, mixology is another term for mixing drinks or bartending and a mixologist is another term for a bartender or bar chef. However, mixology is generally accepted as a refined and in-depth study of the art and craft of mixing drinks. Think of it as the study of the chemistry of drinks, and the mixologist as the professional who studies and practices that.
