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.

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.
