Whether you're just starting out in the world of cocktails or have been a seasoned mixologist for years, there are many different kinds of drinks to explore. Some are very easy while others require some practice. You'll have a blast sipping your new favorite beverage, no matter how you get started.
Modernist Cocktails
The cocktail scene has experienced a surge of innovation over the last 30 years. Mixologists are creating new cocktails and reimagining old favorites. There are more options than ever to enjoy a refreshing, delicious drink, such as the classic Martini and Tommy's Margarita.
Modernist cocktails are more popular than ever before. It's not just a New York-based renaissance in drink, but it's spreading across the country.
If you have the right ingredients and a little imagination, these recipes will be a huge hit at your next gathering. Many of these recipes have interesting backstories, which makes them even more appealing to make at home.
Twist Cocktail
There are very few ingredients that can elevate your cocktails like fruit juice. Fruit juices have lots of flavor. They also make a lot froth, which helps to improve the aroma of other ingredients.
You should always have fresh juice on hand. This not only keeps your drinks fresh and flavourful, but it also helps to save you money when you're preparing a large volume of beverages.
Sugar syrup is another key ingredient to create a smooth, silky texture for a drink. Sugar is an important component in helping to create the balance of a drink and to help keep the ingredients from losing their flavour and intensity as they are shaken together.
You can use sugar syrup in cocktails in many different ways, but the easiest and most efficient way to do this is to mix it with fruit juices. This is especially helpful if you don't have the right fruits or if you just want to add sweetness to your drink.
Cocktails made with fruit juices can be a great way for you to use up extra fruit from the fridge or kitchen. It's important to not overdo the syrup or fruit in your cocktail. This can lead to a sugary, unbalanced drink.
The Dark and Stormy
This drink was first created by sailors and has become a beloved favorite of drinkers across the globe. This strong drink packs a punch thanks to a combination of dark rum, ginger beer, and other ingredients.

What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
The drink's original name was derived from the fact it was not served with ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
A Manhattan could be another option. This is another great option. This is essentially a variant on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using whiskey, you use Rye whiskey. Instead of sugar, sweet vermouth is used.
Because it is easy to prepare and delicious, this is a popular choice for bartenders.
