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!

Bartender's top tip
Just like cooking, consider using seasonal ingredients to make your cocktails. Fresh summer fruits, herbs, and edible flowers can add a fresh twist to your drinks, while autumn and winter call for ingredients like apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Seasonal ingredients are not only at their peak of flavor but also can inspire you to create themed drinks that fit the time of year.
