The cocktail scene has experienced a surge of innovation over the last 30 years. Mixologists are creating new cocktails and reimagining old favorites. There are more options than ever to enjoy a refreshing, delicious drink, such as the classic Martini and Tommy's Margarita.
Modernist cocktails are more popular than ever before. This is the type of revival in drinking that isn't just happening in New York and San Francisco but is spreading throughout the country.

Twist Cocktail
When you're looking to shake up your cocktail game, there are few ingredients that will help you elevate your creations quite like fruit juice. Not only are fruit juices full of flavor, but they also create a lot of froth when shaken that helps to elevate the aroma of all your other ingredients.
It's important to have a variety fresh juice in your refrigerator. It not only preserves the taste and quality of your beverages, but also saves you money when you prepare large amounts of drinks.
Another ingredient that is a key to creating a smooth, silky texture in a drink is sugar syrup. Sugar syrup plays an important role in creating the balance of a drink.
There are many options for how sugar syrup can be added to cocktails. However, the easiest and most effective way is to mix it in with fruit juices. This is especially useful for those who don't have access or the desire to sweeten a drink with sugar syrup.
Drinking fruit juices in cocktails is a great way to use up fruit leftovers from your kitchen. Just be careful that you don't overdo it with the amount of fruit or syrup, as too much sugar can ruin your drink and turn it into a sweet, overly sweet and unbalanced mess.
The Dark and Stormy
This is a drink that originated from sailors and has since been loved by drinkers worldwide. This strong drink is made from a mix of dark Rum and ginger Beer.
