Artisanal cocktails are handcrafted drinks that emphasize quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. Bartenders, often referred to as mixologists, use fresh fruits, herbs, and house-made syrups to create these beverages. The focus is on creativity and presentation, making each cocktail a work of art. These cocktails often feature small-batch spirits and local ingredients, reflecting the trends in the craft beverage movement. Artisanal cocktails can be found in upscale bars and restaurants, where the experience of enjoying a drink is as important as the drink itself.
