It makes me feel fancy. But whenever I order it, I hear someone else do it too.” – Ryan Crowder, social media strategist, San Francisco

Editor's Notes

  • #15 Now, even fruity cocktails are given a dash (or three) of bitters, and bitter liqueurs like Campari and Suze are more popular than ever. It may take some time to adjust to this new world of bitterness, but you’ll soon start craving the balance it provides to even humble drinks like gin and tonic. (http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2015/01/the-future-of-cocktails-8-booze-trends-to-watch-for-in-2015.html) The use of Prohibition-era recipes in cocktail bars is nothing new, especially when you consider that cocktails wouldn’t even exist without the putrid spirits that the ban made necessary. Bartenders love mezcal due to its complexity and boozy character, which means that you’ll see more and more of it on menus in 2015. Mixologists are also catching on to the molecular gastronomy trend, evidenced by the prevalence of gels, foams, and chemical emulsifiers in many drinks.
