A repertoire that makes guests welcome: Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule and Cuba Libre — everyday builds. Negroni and Old Fashioned — stirred classics for slow evenings. Daiquiri, Whiskey Sour, Margarita — three faces of the one sour formula. Mojito — muddling and easy summer. Espresso Martini — a showstopper finish with real foam.
Each of the ten teaches its own skill; together they cover all three methods plus citrus, sugar, mint and foam. After that the site's seven thousand recipes open up by themselves — you will recognise familiar formulas under unfamiliar names.
Homework: clear all ten in a month, two or three a week. Heart what you make, and the bar finder will show which next bottle unlocks the most new recipes.
