Good news is coming your way - it's entirely possible to make delicious, professional cocktails in the comfort of your own home. Impress your guests with vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, and even non-alcoholic cocktails and forget having to wait at the bar any longer.

There are some basic techniques to learn when it comes to cocktail making, or mixology as it is better known. However, these aren't too hard to learn and once you have the right equipment in place, you'll be able to quickly master the techniques that will allow you to mix and muddle your way to cocktail heaven.

The downside of cocktail making is that you need to have a stock of ingredients on hand in order to whip up a batch of your favourite drink. For the most part, this is quite easy, as vodka, rum, whiskey, etc, are all quite easy to find. The mixers are often the difficult part, but in most supermarkets, you will find the ingredients you need. However much buying the ingredients costs you, it will never be as much as several rounds of cocktails in a high quality bar.
