Cocktails are a staple to any fun occasion, but people are often intimidated by the thought of preparing it at home. Cocktail preparation is actually really fun and easy once you have established these three key factors: Tools, Ingredients, and Spirits.

The Right Tools for Any Occasion– Knowing what tools are needed to prepare the perfect cocktail is integral for those looking to mix-it-up for the first time. Preparing a cocktail needs a shaker, a muddling stick, a bar spoon, and a jigger. The jigger ensures that you have the right measurements for your flavorful concoction. In preparing your cocktail, having the right measurements ensures that your cocktail will taste as good as it should be.

Fresh Ingredients for a Fresher Feeling- Another important part of ensuring that your cocktail tastes good is the freshness of your ingredients. Make sure that you use fresh ingredients for your cocktail— only the freshest herbs, the freshest fruits and juices, etc. Fresh ingredients taste better than ingredients that have been stored in the fridge. Make sure that you choose the freshest ingredients possible when preparing your cocktails.

Premium Spirits to Lift up the Spirit– Lastly, to ensure the best-tasting cocktail, use the best Spirits. The spirit is the heart and soul of your cocktail. If you use low-quality spirits, this will reflect in the flavor of your cocktail. Cocktails are designed to elevate the mood, not bring them down so make sure that you are only using the most premium spirits on your cocktails.
