Americans have loved specialty cocktails since the Sazerac cocktail came into existence in New Orleans in the mid-1800s. The love for this adult beverage depends on its depth of flavor, color and/or texture made with specialized techniques. For instance the Sazerac Cocktail achieves its distinct taste when the cocktail is coated with Sazerac Rye Whiskey before the other ingredients are added to the mixture.
Cocktails Require Techniques
Each crafted cocktail has its own specific ingredient and recipe that gives a high end result to the make. The price of the cocktail then relies on the labor involved in making it, the skills of the bartender and quality of ingredients utilized. The labor isn’t intensive but needs to be skilled to get premium results.
When the ingredients are right and the techniques are specific then one does not require a highly trained bartender to do the job of serving a great cocktail. The better the creation, the more the price of the drink. High quality cocktails can be made using the high-performance blending equipment.
The Cocktails That Need A Shake
There are cocktails like the AMF Drink, Ramos Gin Fizz and the Amaretto Sour, which are egg whites and ice based frothy drinks that require the bartenders to handshake the beverages vigorously with ice, one pour at a time requiring a certain time to make a drink. The shaken cocktails have light texture if they are shaken correctly otherwise the drink can be a complete mess.

Thus the bartender needs enough time to complete the process and serve the right results which are frothy in nature. There are chances of error but with a focused bartender unbelievably exotic cocktails can be achieved that have the proper level of foam.
The Frozen Beverages
The cocktails like daiquiris, margaritas and spiked slushies are made using large-capacity frozen beverage machines. They require investment in equipment other than premium ingredients. Blenders process the hard, frozen and tough ingredients easily to give you a creamy, smoothie-like cocktail which has tiny bits of ice, chocolate and/or fruit.
