Yes, the rise in popularity of the cocktail has been nothing short of amazing. Everywhere you look, on film and tv, in restaurants, in bars, people are drinking cocktails, or as they're often called, mixed-drinks.

And no wonder. Although there are times when most of us would say that only a cold beer will do-the-trick, many people are becoming more adventurous about what they drink. And why not? With so much choice in the amazing, colorful world of cocktails there's no need to be bored at the bar again. Probably still not the best idea for your night-out with the boys though! Still that might depend on the boys!
