Mixology is the art and science of preparing beverages, especially mocktails, using a variety of ingredients and unique techniques. The first origin of mixology was established in the American Cocktail culture along with the introduction of a book on cocktails, “The Bartender’s Guide” by Jerry Thomas, in the year 1862. During the ancient era, all the Egyptians, Romans and Greeks used to mix fermented beverages with certain herbs This concept is mainly about experiencing the taste and presentation.  It focuses on understanding the chemistry of preparation and the tools used in mixology. The Mixologist mainly focuses on the art and science of preparing drinks, rather than inventing new ones, as they have an in-depth knowledge of different spirits, liquor and other ingredients.
