What are some great mixed drinks that you can order at the bar?
An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. 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. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or 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.
You could also try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using whiskey, you use Rye whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step in creating any cocktail recipe. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can buy cognac online at Amazon.com or specialty liquor stores.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain out the sugar crystals through cheesecloth and discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Add a splash of soda water to the Brandy Alexander and garnish with a lemon twist.
