Cocktail flavors are incredibly diverse, ranging from sweet and fruity to bitter and herbal, depending on the ingredients used. A balance of sweet, sour, bitter, and spirituous elements is key to a well-crafted cocktail.
Cocktails utilize a wide array of flavors derived from spirits (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey), liqueurs (fruit-flavored, herbal, coffee), mixers (juices, sodas, bitters), and garnishes (fruits, herbs, spices). Bitterness often comes from bitters or ingredients like Campari, while sweetness is derived from syrups, liqueurs, or fruit juices. Sourness is typically achieved with citrus juices like lime or lemon.
