5. Once you have your spirit ready, choose the rest of the ingredients like mixers, bitters, liqueurs etc.
6. Include a recipe card as well. Try printing it out with an elegant template or go old-school and create your own cocktail recipe card.

8. Go the extra mile by including garnishing ideas that match your chosen drink. Dehydrated garnishes are a great choice.
