Today's video is a field guide - we're going on a cocktail journey from the Manhattan to the Margarita! We'll map out 6 cocktails by following overlap in the recipes and creating a through line between them all. This is the cocktail equivalent to the 6 degrees of separation theory. It's a fun exercise to see how cocktails relate to each other and can even help us create new recipes. Pick your path, see where it takes you - or pick two cocktails and try to fill the gaps between them. Cheers everyone!
