The trends shaping 2025
This new year of mixology reveals three distinct paths:
The rebirth of classics – cocktails like the Negroni, Sidecar, and Daiquiri are once again protagonists.
Fruity freshness – interpretations like Watermelon Gin and Tonic and Paloma extend summer into autumn.
Minimalist sophistication – compositions of two or three notes, such as the Highball or Moscow Mule, reveal the elegance of simplicity.
