From speakeasies and themed events, the 1920s cocktails are no longer seen as a drink of the past and rather an alternative to the heavy, sugary sweet drinks that are prevalent in many bars and clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers are becoming more inclined to live a healthier lifestyle and from this, it has lead to a rise in people wanting simple, classic recipes that offer simplicity in their glasses. The trend towards returning to the bitter tastes comes from a desire for an unsweetened refreshing thirst quencher. It also helps that many of the popular vintage cocktails are \u2018Instagrammable\u2019, meaning a younger audience are now enjoying some old classics.<\/p>\n<p>Vintage cocktails offer a sense of glamour, featuring 3-4 ingredients, each cocktail offers the chance of an unusual twist due to not being perceived as \u2018too much\u2019 already.<\/p>\n<p>Vintage cocktails make the perfect addition\u00a0to any wedding and celebration drinks menu. They ooze glamour and sophistication and will show your guests that you have real style. They taste good, look good and for us, they are a pleasure to make.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Mambo, we are inspired by vintage cocktails, especially those of classical recipes.
