mixologists
A mixologist is a skilled professional who specializes in creating and serving drinks, particularly cocktails. Unlike general bartenders, mixologists focus on crafting innovative, well-balanced, and visually appealing beverages using a wide range of spirits, mixers, and ingredients. They often experiment with flavors, techniques, and presentation to enhance the drinking experience. Mixologists may work in bars, restaurants, or create recipes for events and publications, blending artistry with technical knowledge to elevate the craft of cocktail-making beyond basic pouring.
