Oh, you can. Don't be scared about. But maybe better use recipes written in pseudo code lol. Some cocktails are basic but very tasteful and nice to see, like a Tequila Sunrise (or its variants) or Hawaiian Blue. It is a very interesting & tasteful hobby - but sadly it's an invitation to expanses. But which hobby isn't? With a few basics you can create a lot of stuff. But then you may realize: "okay, now I know why a specialized spoon is designed like this. Yes, a regular spoon works 89 to 90%, but a specialized spoon... how much does it cost?" or "Okay, a muddler with cap design X will to that, but for other ingredients it would be better if the muddler cap is designed like Y to open the cells but not destroy the ingredient". But also you may be develop a better taste for quality. For example now I know every kind of orange juice and nectar here in the area and why pressed fresh is 20 times better and cheaper. Or practice my good taste with "Why I should buy blend X or Y? Plus alcohol is toxic for the body cells and I look how I can compensate that. I think it can be a very mind expanding hobby, but I only would recommend it to people which have a settled mindset. Otherwise it could be the starting point to alcoholism. Since I mix cocktails I drink less alcohol (because I see the risk - they are so tasty!), but enjoy it more.
