We're pleased to announce to new great features on the site - one's that have been in the pipeline for a while now. and recently we managed to implement and test thoroughly.

With Christmas the New Year fast approaching, our northern hemisphere friends will probably love this new feature, as they look for some great Christmas warmers to heat up the cold evenings. Because we wanted to give you the best results possible, we also searched high and low for some new great cocktails that could utilise these filters more - and so we've added over the past week over 25 new cocktails, many of which are warming or non-alcoholic.
Including:
Apple a Day
The Colonel
Calypso
We hope your enjoy these new features, now get cooking (mixing / combining / drinking).

Bartender's top tip
The way you pour ingredients can affect your cocktail's final taste. Pour slowly and steadily to ensure proper mixing. When layering cocktails, use the back of a spoon to gently add the next ingredient so they don’t mix prematurely. This technique is essential for creating visually stunning layers in drinks like the Pousse-Café.
