- A cocktail made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and generally treated with a careful, culinary attention to detail. The term craft cocktail is vague and poorly defined, but mainly exists to differentiate modern cocktails from mid- to late-20th century mixed drinks that were made with low-quality, mass-produced ingredients. The term grew in popularity following the cocktail renaissance that began in the 1990s.
