The ever-growing popularity of cocktails in the dynamic gastronomy culture across the globe is heartening to see for all cocktail enthusiasts. Popular culture has majorly impacted preferences and shaped trends, especially when it comes to what we drink. When viewers see a beloved character sipping on a particular cocktail, it assumes an aspirational quality in their subconscious mind.
Some of the best bars across the world have curious drinks that combine flavour such as tabasco with vodka, and camphor cordial with gin—there is truly no end to what can be served in a glass. When patrons are willing to experiment, no cocktail or its iterations become out of bounds. This fuels the popularity of on-screen cocktails beyond the regulars. Mixologists share recipes of the most iconic cocktails to grace the screen for you to try your hands on.
