Although tequila is mostly drank as a shooter, you will find it in many cocktails. Tequila is quite strong and it’s the base ingredient for Margaritas.

Vodka is probably the most versatile of all spirits. It’s ideal for the beginner mixologist to start experimenting with as you can basically add anything to it to make a “cocktail”.

“Whisky” (without the “e”) comes from Scotland or Canada. Almost all other “whiskeys” come from elsewhere. Whisky is rich in flavour and taste. The classic Manhattan uses whisky as its base ingredient.
