Sometimes you just think about a nice cold beer when it’s hot outside, but on special nights the nightlife is all about cocktails! There are so many of those drinks, and people keep inventing new mixes and flavours. A cocktail is all about representation, not just the flavour. It starts with the preparation which is by itself pure art. The bartender shows his/her tricks and makes you understand why you really should appreciate and enjoy that cocktail. The cocktail is (should) be made with a proper level of professionalism, and will be decorated and garnished with fruit slices. Let’s not forget the vibrant colours that many cocktails display, clear and bright colours that enhance the mysterious and magical atmosphere of nightlife.
