Our Infographic is finally live! After countless hours, long nights and many moons of cups of coffee (?) - we can finally release our infographic that we've been working on over the past few weeks.
Taken from our extensive database of cocktails, we decided to do some analysis to answer questions such as ‘what are the top spirits that are used in cocktails’ and ‘what are the most popular mixers’. Enjoy, share and let us know what you think!
We're grateful for any shares and re-posts!

Bartender's top tip

Muddle the herbs gently to release their oils without turning them bitter, or infuse them into simple syrups.
