Preparation

Whatever your vice, make sure the balance is right. Fresh fruit and flamboyant garnishes add an element of fun, while some would say serving the right cocktail in the wrong glass takes away its classiness. But cocktail making shouldn’t be a muddling matter – add liqueurs, juices, spices and flavourings to your liking for a top tipple.
