The last post I've written about on alcohol was the functionality of each glass for each specific to the drink itself. Well today we'll go a bit deeper, taking on a party must have - cocktails.
Cocktails have their differences from beer and wine. While beer and wine are mostly taken as it is, cocktails are often a mixture of distilled beverage, juice, fruits and many other ingredients.
Cocktails can be also be taken in different methods. Some are shaken, some stirred (Martini, Mr. 007?). Some are taken layer by layer without mixing them together.

What makes cocktails unique, is that the flavors and tastes comes from the ingredients used to prepare. And the alcoholic punch is usually derived from distilled beverage (alcoholic beverage which have a higher content of alcohol, namely above 30% of alcohol).
And yes, apart from growing your own grapes and processing your own wine, you can make up your own cocktail and give it a fancy name.
Taking cocktails may not be as classy as taking wine or sniffing brandy, but you gotta admit one thing: the various color and decorations it adorn, blends perfectly in harmony when the occasion calls for a party.
