I do agree that  nowadays this list is a little bit "old fashioned" and does 
not reflects the modern way of drinking ,( where are Caipirinha,Cosmpolitan, 
Long Island Iced Tea, Sea Breeze, Woo Woo ?...) but until the I.B.A. committee 
won't change it,(I hope soon) this is what is internationally known as the 
"classic cocktails" list, and this what you'll be asked to know during an 
I.B.A cocktail competition.
