Cocktails are great because they’re basically happiness served in a glass. They’re the cheeky cousins of wine and beer—dressed up, colourful, and always ready to make an entrance. Where else do you get drinks that sparkle with umbrellas, glow with neon cherries, or arrive in a glass shaped like a pineapple?
Part of the magic is the mix itself. Cocktails are alchemy: a splash of sour, a dash of sweet, a kick of spirit, and somehow the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. One sip can taste like a holiday, another like pure sophistication. They’re versatile too—whether you’re in the mood for a lazy mojito by the pool or a bracing martini before dinner, there’s always a cocktail to suit the mood.

And then there’s the theatre. Shakers rattling, ice clinking, garnishes twirling—it’s all a mini performance, with the bartender as ringmaster. Even at home, making one feels like a tiny celebration.
Most of all, cocktails are about joy. They loosen conversations, brighten evenings, and turn ordinary nights into memorable ones. They’re proof that sometimes, the best things in life really do come shaken, stirred, and served with a slice of lime.
