About This Tool
The history of cocktails can be traced back to ancient society. Today, cocktails have become the most distinctive mixed drink in the United States. In the late 1980s, some American bartenders, especially Dale DeGroff in New York, began to discover traditional cocktail recipes and bartending techniques that had disappeared in mainstream culture. Due to the different cultures, history, and climate of each state, the types of the most popular cocktails in every US state are also different.
Tropical Itch, The Vesper Reconsidered, Southside, and more unique cocktails, each cocktail has its own flavor, and each region has developed the most distinctive cocktails. The generator introduced some basic information about 51 quintessential cocktails from different states.
