Play with Texture: Spring cocktails can benefit from a variety of textures, such as frothy egg whites, bubbly club soda, or sparkling wine. These textures can add a refreshing and playful element to your cocktails.
Think Light and Refreshing: With the warmer weather comes a desire for lighter and more refreshing cocktails. Consider using low-ABV spirits like vermouth or sherry, or creating spritzes and other light and bubbly drinks.
Experiment with Bitters: Bitters are a great way to add depth and complexity to your cocktails. Consider using floral or citrus-based bitters to add a spring-like flavor to your drinks.
Don't Forget the Garnish: A well-placed garnish can make all the difference in a cocktail's appearance and flavor. Consider using fresh herbs or edible flowers as a garnish to add a pop of color and flavor to your drinks.
