Cocktails could be a way of marketing whisky to the female consumer as unlike men who usually drink whisky straight, it is more feminine and less of a harsh masculine drink to have whisky in a long drink such as a cocktail. I would like to include this into my design, either to market the brand as a spirit for cocktails or include to show how different cocktails can be made.
