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
The key to a great cocktail is balance. Ensure that the sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and alcohol are in harmony. Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, and don't be shy about adjusting the proportions to suit your taste. For instance, if you find a drink too sour, add a bit more sweetener, or if it's too sweet, balance it with a bit of citrus or bitters.
