What Is a Craft Cocktail?

“Craft Cocktail” is a great buzz word in the bar and beverage industry, but what does it really mean?

Some define craft cocktails as alcoholic drinks made with great care and fresh ingredients. Other bartenders define the trendy cocktail segment in more broader and obtuse terms, “a beverage better than its constituents.” In other words, it is a drink where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

In a world of 1 million mixed drink options, we like to define craft cocktails as alcoholic mixed drinks that typically feature:

Premium spirits or small-batch craft spirits and liqueurs.
Flavourful bitters with the essence of lavender, cranberry or smoke.
Homemade syrups or shrubs infused with herbs, spices, flowers and fruit.
Freshly squeezed juices, artisanal mixers and fresh herbs.
Unique small-batch spirits and niche liqueurs.
Craft ice like the perfect cube, ice spheres or crushed ice.
Antique vintage cocktail glasses.

Simple mixed drinks like Gin and Coke and Whiskey and Sprite are not considered part of the craft cocktail pantheon as they’re just too basic!

Travel The World To Find The Best Cocktail

I’m a professional food and travel journalist who has visited thousands of wineries, breweries, distilleries, cocktail bars and award winning restaurants around the world.

The best way to develop your cocktail palette and educate yourself on elevated mixed drinks is by hopping up on a bar stool at the world’s best bars.

Expert mixologists can often be found at Michelin Star restaurants and luxury hotel bars, transforming classic cocktail recipes into modern marvels.

You certainly don’t have to hop on a plane to sip inspiring booze-forward drinks. In Toronto I love visiting the celebrated Cocktail Emporium on Queen Street West for all the best bartending gear.

The key ingredient in each cocktail is the alcoholic spirit that the other components in the beverage help elevate. Visiting distilleries in person can help you appreciate the nuances between Bourbon and Scotch, artisanal flavoured gins, smooth tequila vs smoky mezcal and a young clear white rum between a molasses-forward rum aged in a barrel for over 10 years.

On my travels I’ve had the opportunity to write about the:

Best Scotch Distilleries on the Isle of Islay in Scotland
VIP tour of the Bombay Sapphire Distillery in England
Jamesons Irish Whiskey Distillery in Cork, Ireland
Bushmills Whiskey Distillery in Northern Ireland
Stranahans Whiskey in Colorado
Barreling Tide Distillery in Nova Scotia

Best bartender tools & equipment to make homemade cocktail recipes.

Best Bartender Tools & Cocktail Equipment

Before hosting a swanky cocktail soiree you’ll need to ensure you have the best bartender tools and equipment.

Cocktail Kit: cocktail kits are the perfect gift for newbie mixology fans as they include basic bartender tools like a jigger, shaker and spoon.
Cocktail Shaker: a bartender’s best friend. Purchase a premium cocktail shaker to muddle or shake up your favourite pink gin cocktails.
Cocktail Glassware: make sure your bar is stocked with a selection of unique glassware to show off your favourite cocktail creations.
Hawthorne Strainer: this unique strainer features tightly wound coils and perforated holes. It keeps ice and other large ingredients like lime wedges in your cocktail shaker rather than in the glass.
Bar Spoons: slender and long bar spoons are a must-have when stirring drinks.
Bottle Opener: easily open bottles of beer or cider with the flick of your wrist or purchase a corkscrew for fine wine.
Pouring Spout: once you’ve opened a new bottle of gin insert these affordable pourers to make cocktail assembly a breeze.
Cutting Board: purchase a petite cutting board for your bar to slice garnishes or citrus wedges like lime, orange, lemon or grapefruit.
Ice Bucket: chill bottles of gin quickly in an ice bucket or keep by the bar when muddling gin mixers into cool creations.
Ice Crusher: fans of the Mint Julep love an ice crusher.
Ice Cube Kit: we suggest purchasing a selection of ice cube trays. Silicone styles are our favourite as they’re easy to clean and are available in various shapes and sizes.
Jigger: use a jigger to accurately measure spirits, juices, syrups and shrubs.
Juicer: invest in an electronic juicer or buy an affordable hand-held to easily juice fresh citrus like lemons and limes.
Muddler: fans of the Mojito love a sturdy muddler to mix mint and lime. Muddler’s are handy for any cocktail featuring ingredients that need a pounding like fresh herbs or citrus wedges.
Citrus Peeler & Zester: adorn your cocktails with a thick citrus peel or finer ribbons of lime or lemon zest.
Rimmer: Bloody Mary and Caesar lovers should outfit their bar with a handy rimmer for salting and sugaring glassware.
