What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
A Manhattan is also an option. This is another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. Instead of sugar, sweet vermouth is used.
This is a popular choice among bartenders because it's easy to make and tastes delicious.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy-Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. This drink will use Cognac, a French distilled spirit made of fermented grapes. Although it is usually clear, you might see oak barrels. You can purchase cognac from specialty liquor stores as well as online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we'll make simple syrup. Simple syrup is simply sugar that has been dissolved in water. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of granulated syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Let it sit overnight. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. You can store the liquid in your fridge for up 3 weeks in an airtight glass container.
We're going to mix Cognac and simple maple syrup together for our Brandy Alexander cocktail. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
