List of IBA official cocktails

An IBA official cocktail is one of many cocktails selected by the International Bartenders Association (IBA) for use in the annual World Cocktail Competition (WCC)[1] in bartending.

The old fashioned is an IBA official cocktail in the "unforgettables" category

IBA cocktails are specified in centilitres (cl). 3 cl are approximately equivalent to 1 U.S. fluid ounce (1.4% more). 0.5 cl is approximately 1 U.S. teaspoon.
