Classic cocktails can give any drink an elegant feel. They are the perfect choice to make for an after-work drink and special occasions. These drinks can be made and served with flair and style by bartenders. Here are some examples. You can also make the Daiquiri cocktail with bourbon.
Daiquiri cocktail
Daiquiri is a classic cocktail consisting of rum, simple syrup and lime juice. For the best flavor, fresh squeezed lime juice will be required. To make the perfect cocktail, you can also add cane syrup, which is derived from sugar cane juice. This ingredient adds a rustic flavour to the cocktail.
The Daiquiri is an easy drink to make at home. You can dress it up for company or keep it basic for a quiet evening in. Blend it with ice and let cool for 10 seconds. You can also serve it on the rocks or frozen.
Negroni cocktail
Classic Negroni cocktails consist of Campari, sweetvermouth, and gin. It is commonly garnished using an orange peel. It originated in Florence, Italy, around 1919 and has become a popular cocktail. The bittersweet combination of these spirits gives the drink it's bright red color.
Campari's bitterness can make the drink too bitter for some. But, cutting it in half or even double it can help people to adjust to the taste. Another way to make the drink more palatable is to use vodka instead of gin. While vodka will retain the same flavor as gin, it will be slightly less bitter than the traditional drink. Vermouth can be substituted for Campari.
Old Fashioned cocktail
The Old Fashioned cocktail is a classic libation that is served over ice and garnished with an orange slice and cocktail cherry. Make the classic cocktail by mixing sugar and bitters with whiskey. It is usually served with ice in an old-fashioned glass.
Old Fashioned cocktails are strong drinks because there is very little dilution. It is about 32 percent ABV or 64 Proof, which makes it more potent than a straight drink of whiskey. If you feel adventurous, make the Old Fashioned your own.
Old Fashioned with Bourbon
The Bourbon Old Fashioned, a classic cocktail that has been around since over 200 years ago, is elegant and timeless. Its name comes from the original definition of cocktail category that called for alcohol, sugar and water. The Bourbon Old Fashioned is made with Bourbon. Other ingredients in the classic cocktail include water and aromatic bitters. The Old Fashioned, despite its simplicity, is a popular drink in bars.
You must use the correct ingredients to make an Old Fashioned. Mix the ingredients together with bitters. Using bitters enhances the flavor of the bourbon without changing the drink's character. Bitters should be used in very small quantities. Too much bitters can lead to a bitter taste.
Brandy Alexander cocktail
The Brandy Alexander classic cocktail has a rich, creamy texture thanks to the heavy cream used in the recipe. Half-and-half (which is more rich) or milk can be used if you prefer. Traditional garnishes include grated nutmeg. This gives the drink a nutmeg flavor and aroma. You will smell nutmeg and then you will be greeted by sweet, spicy Cognac and a touch of chocolate.
Brandy Alexander, a classic cocktail, is often enjoyed in winter months. It is also often made with ice cream instead of heavy cream. It is a smooth, rich drink that you can enjoy alone or for serving as a dessert to your guests at a celebration.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their recommendations.
This is where you speak with your server, and tell them what kind of drink that you desire. You could say, "I would like a glass beer." Next, tell the server what kind of beer it is. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). Once you are done, the server will give you the correct price and you won't feel awkward ever again.
