Sweet drinks were traditionally the only way women could make their evenings special. Although they were allowed to consume gin, wine, and other beverages, they were not permitted to consume strong or dark liquors. These drinks were often not considered "ladylike". Bartenders created "girly", or sweetened, drinks with alcohol that addressed this problem.
Singapore sling is one such cocktail. It was invented in the early 20th-century by a Raffles Hotel bartender. The sling is a combination of gin, lime, and herbal liqueurs. This drink is great for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan was in fact invented by a New York Bartender. The name "cosmo" was believed to have been a feminine name for a Cosmopolitan. The drink started as a martini but was popularized by the television series Sex and the City.
The appletini is another feminine drink. This is a mixed drink with vodka and apple juice. It is also known as a "mirror", which is a reference to the screwdriver that was invented during the same time period.
The No Sleep Till cocktail is another option for women. It's made with Aperol, Aperol and a splash lemon juice. This is a wonderful cocktail to serve at a ladies night. Apart from the classic cocktail, a great evening is filled with laughter, gossip, as well as a drink.
Gin and Tonic is another popular drink. This is made with tonic and gin. The combination of gin and tonic is a very refreshing drink, though it can be a bit strong. The drink is traditionally served with an ice cube, but it's also tasty served with a slice of lime.
Another cocktail that ladies love is the Mint Julep. This cocktail is made with two sugar cubes and fresh, minty leaves. This is a great drink to have at a southern movie night or party.
The fuzzy napkin cocktail was on the contrary, a thick, sweet drink. It used to be made with orange juice and peach syrups. However, it is now made with fresh lemon and orange juice. The cocktail was first created in the early 20th-century, but it was only popular with the upper-class. The Raffles Hotel was known for its glamorous and affluent clientele, making the cocktail a huge hit.
Bartenders have been updating the flavour profiles of their cocktails in an effort to balance out the feminine characteristics of old drinks. The Cosmopolitan is an example of a drink that has been de-feminized to appeal more men. It's still a sweet, drinkable drink.
Crazy Frog is another drink that ladies will love is the flirty and fun Crazy Frog. Like the mojito, the Crazy Frog is a great drink to bring to a party or for a girls' night out. It's also perfect for any time of year.
Despite the popularity of these girly drinks, some men still don't mix alcohol and sweet beverages. They want something new to drink in their glass.

How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins go back to the 19th Century when it was called The Four Deuces. That is because it contained two ounces of whisky, two ounces of rye and two ounces of gin. The original recipe is still loved by bartenders, drinkers, and even chefs.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare a Manhattan. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
