Technique required
Bartender-style cocktails
Drinks that ask something of you — advanced technique, unusual builds, or enough moving parts that order matters.
These are the drinks where method is not a formality. A Ramos Gin Fizz is famous for the length of its shake; a layered drink fails visibly if poured in the wrong order; a six-ingredient tiki build falls apart if the ratios drift.
None of them are difficult in the sense of requiring equipment you don't have. They are difficult in the sense of requiring attention, which is a much better reason to attempt something.
How this list is built
Recipes rated advanced in the catalogue, or built by throwing or layering, or using six or more non-optional ingredients.
Nothing on this page is hand-picked or sponsored — the list comes straight from the recipe data, so it stays correct as the catalogue grows. Lists only exist once enough real recipes match; that is why some categories you might expect aren't here yet.
