Welcome to the Cocktail Recipes Guide

Here you will meet Cocktail Mixing Master’s favorite and the world's most popular cocktail recipes.

We have grouped the cocktail recipes according to the main base ingredients. Clicking on each link below, will take you to a page with a list of cocktails for each base ingredient. ( Click here to go to our Cocktail Ingredients Guide.)

According to Cocktail Mixing Master's research these are the most popular cocktail recipes instead of just long lists of the thousands of cocktails. The cocktails here are carefully selected because they are simple to make and generally do not require unusual ingredients.

Each recipe gives you the ingredients, recommended glass, preparation method, garnish and in some cases comments and background on the cocktail. These are guidelines for your convenience, but Cocktail Mixing Master encourages you to experiment with ingredients, garnished and glasses. Who knows, perhaps you invent the next world famous cocktail!

From here you can look at recipes for (click on the links):
