While some get obsessed with the nuances and varieties of different kinds of wines and beer, some folks are all about cocktails. They’re the ones with a fully stocked bar, including an assortment of cocktail-making equipment like shakers and jiggers, a complete set of different glassware, and, when hosting, a mise en place stocked with garnishes and those little swords or toothpicks.

The waning popularity of alcohol consumption risks eroding “cocktail culture” and its more charming elements, like the craft of mixology and the enjoyment of freshly prepared, attractive, and tasty beverages. So long as one drinks in moderation, these beverages can also positively alter our moods, thanks to the included spirits.
