Basics

When you learn the basics of making cocktails, you can adapt them to your own recipes. It’s not complicated to learn and you don’t need any fancy equipment or ingredients to create delicious homemade cocktails to enjoy. When you know the techniques, you can take them from there and after that, it’s all up to your imagination and creativity.

Many ingredients you will see in this blog are simple, easy to find or make. I also give tips about how to twist classic recipes according to your taste. There are also some ingredients you can make at home and keep refrigerated to use for many weeks at home.

Homemade cocktails are fun to make and drink. The thing I like most about making cocktails myself is that I can share the fun with my friends as much as I like and make them happy, too.
