Making cocktails

To make a cocktail, you'll typically need to follow these steps:

1. Choose your cocktail recipe: There are hundreds of cocktail recipes out there. Look up a recipe online, in a cocktail book or ask your bartender for suggestions.

2. Gather your ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for your recipe. This includes spirits, mixers, juices, syrups, bitters, garnishes and ice.

3. Measure out your ingredients: Cocktails are all about balance, so it's important to measure out your ingredients accurately. You can use a jigger or measuring cup for this.

4. Combine ingredients: Add your ingredients to a shaker or mixing glass, and shake or stir until well combined.

5. Strain and serve: Strain your cocktail into a glass filled with ice and garnish it with a fruit or herb if desired.

6. Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your delicious cocktail!

Remember, cocktail making is an art and a science, so don't be afraid to experiment and adjust recipes to your taste.
