They are distinguished by the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, the avoidance of pre-made mixes, and a commitment to creativity. These classy clinkers are often characterised by unique flavour combinations and attention to detail in presentation, garnishes, and glassware. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The history of craft cocktails is rooted in the cocktail renaissance that bloomed in the late 90s, when a resurgence of classic recipes and mixology techniques became a hot commodity in bars around the world. The movement gained traction in the early 2000s as cocktail enthusiasts remained on the lookout for better-quality, handcrafted drinks, leading to the emergence of specialty cocktail bars and trendy speakeasies.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The availability of cocktail books and easy-to-find online resources also helped refine the craft.
