Marten Krag (@thecocktail.blog) from Denmark calls himself a mixologist, reviewer, and creator who gets inspiration from recreating old cocktails. Growing up with a father who made his own aquavit, he got himself into some hangover trouble as a teenager but it also inspired him to pursue his passion in mixology.  He has a solid following of 68,00 who loves his daily posts from the simplest to the more complex cocktails, each artistically garnished and styled. One thing we observe to be common in most of his cocktails: he loves using brooch-like cocktail clips to hold his garnishes in as well as statement glasses like this cocktail he calls All the Right Reasons.

Le Labo (@lelabbo) may be spelled like the fragrances and massage oils, but it has nothing to do with fragrances and everything with cocktails.

@letsturnup

Dante, the owner and CEO of the Lets Turn Up Studios (@letsturnup) posts awesome cocktails videos that get a lot of traffic of up to 34,000 views. His IG images get thousands of likes as well, making him a very popular mixologist to his 112,000 followers. He celebrated his 100k party last July 18th but he had been getting more followers to have earned another 12,000 in just a few weeks. His colorful cocktails are usually layered and get a lot of gummy candy garnishes. One other popular styling for him is to dump in the mini bottles to his cocktails so that it gets stronger as the cocktail is consumed. This month’s most liked cocktail is called Chica Local made with tequila, peach schnapps, blue curacao, agave, and guava soda. The blue curacao gives the cocktail its bright blue color. We just wish he includes the procedures to his posts so those who want to start dabbling with cocktails can recreate them.
