Additional Tips for Crafting Signature Cocktails
Tip 1: Play with Temperature
Experiment with temperature variations. Some cocktails shine when served ice-cold, while others benefit from a slight chill or even at room temperature.

Tip 3: Test, Adjust, Repeat
Not every experiment will be a success on the first try. Be open to adjustments and refining your recipe until it\'s perfect.
Tip 4: Keep It Seasonal
Embrace seasonal produce and flavors. This not only adds freshness but also keeps your cocktail menu dynamic and in tune with the time of year.
Tip 5: Trust Your Palate
Your taste buds are your best guide. If something tastes good to you, it\'s likely to be a hit with others. Trust your instincts and enjoy the creative process.
Crafting signature cocktails is an art that evolves with experimentation and personal taste. Don\'t be afraid to push boundaries and create drinks that uniquely represent you! Cheers!

Galliano Herbal Liqueur
Galliano is a liqueur made from neutral alcohol steeped with a wide range of herbs and spices ranging from juniper, anise, vanilla, musk yarrow, lavender and many more herbs and has a distinctive vanilla sweetness. Caramel and tartrazine is used to create the bright yellow colour. It's distinctive vanilla top note and sweetness and flavour separates it from other anise flavoured herbal liqueurs like Anisette, Sambuca and Pernod, and you don't need any sweetner syrup while mixing Galliano. Galliano or Liquore Galliano L'Autentico, is the creation of Artur Vaccari of Livorno, Tuscany, who created this liqueur in 1896 and named it after Giuseppe Galliano, a Royal Italian Army Officer. Galliano is bottled at 30% and 42.3% ABV.
Spiced Rum
Spiced Rum is either Dark or White Rum that has been steeped with herbs and spices to render additional flavour to it. Spices can range from Cinnamon and Black Pepper to Rosemary and Anise seeds.
Water
Water might seem like one ubiquitous ingredient in any alcoholic beverage, and to have no specific purpose other than dilute the alcohol, to prevent irritation and burn, it has more purpose to its presence than it seems.
Water breaks the alcohol molecules and attaches to them and releases the esters that holds the secret to the aroma into the drink and to the nose. Temperature of water is important and although almost all cocktails are served chilled, be sure to understand the role water plays in a drink. Another factor is the quality of water, if you are serious about your cocktail, be sure to use the best neutral tap water or preferably bottled spring water if possible.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
