Since the days of prohibition, when bar owners created mixed drinks in order to mask the taste of their homebrewed alcohol, cocktails have been the centre piece of festivity when it comes to alcoholic beverages. Ale is good, and rum is quicker, but the cocktail - with its vibrant colours and entertaining garnishes - are perhaps the most fun you can have with a drink.
