Kenya: If you thought ‘Mama Pima’ is the only one inventing drinks, then you are wrong. The city is now benefiting from a crop of mixologists. Mixology is a term that describes the art of mixing cocktail drink recipes, which is now an interesting field of a study. A mixologist mixes and invents cocktails. High-end hotels, clubs and pubs within the city are now employing mixologists, besides the regular bartenders.
The difference is like that of a chef and a cook. While mixologists design cocktails, the bartender focuses on guests. The bartenders make guests feel welcome, attended to and entertained, but mixologists do their jobs before the guests arrive.
