What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
I would recommend an Old Fashioned. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
The drink's original name was derived from the fact it was not served with ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
When people started adding ice to the mix, they added "Old-Fashioned" to the title because they felt the old-fashioned version tasted better.
A Manhattan is also an option. This is another great option. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Instead of sugar, sweet vermouth is used.
This is a popular choice among bartenders because it's easy to make and tastes delicious.

Fresh ingredients are the best way to make great cocktails. They should have an interesting taste profile and be well-balanced.
Mixing spirits with drinks is a must. If you're using cheap vodka, then you may as well just drink water.

How To
How to make a delicious martini
A martini is made from gin (or vodka), vermouth, and ice. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is usually served in a chilled glass. You should serve a proper martini straight up without adding anything. You ruin the taste if you mix it.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you want to give your drink an extra flavor, you can add some olive brine to its rim.
While you can use any alcohol, it's better to use 100% of the grain alcohol like Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail a smoother texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
To make a martini, add 2 ounces of dry vodka to a shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Mix well. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
