Make some Cocktails!

There are several popular cocktails that are simple to make and require only a few ingredients.  Check out these:

• The Old Fashioned

  The first cocktail.  It is a base liquor, usually rye or bourbon, plus bitters and a sweetener.  That’s it.  No red candy cherries and no muddling orange peels.  So check out these examples to get started

• The Martini

  Either gin or vodka.  Add a fortified wine, typically vermouth, and stir.  Sorry James.  This cocktail is easy to make and to customize.  Look here for examples

• The Manhattan

  A popular classic cocktail that has remained virtually the same for decades.  Check out the classic and some variations here.

• The Margarita

  The famous drink from Mexico.  Use good tequila and fresh lime.  Here are a few easy recipes.

• Sours

  This is a wide ranging group of drinks.  From a whiskey sour to Tiki drinks, they’re booze and juice.  Look here and start shaking.
