FAQ
What are some good mixed drinks you can order at a bar.
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe called for just whiskey, sugar, and bitters.
When people started adding ice to the mix, they added "Old-Fashioned" to the title because they felt the old-fashioned version tasted better.
A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.
This is a popular choice among bartenders because it's easy to make and tastes delicious.

Statistics
- majority of pineapple juice and Malibu rum is only 21% alcohol content. (breakingtheboredom.com)
- If you choose one that's made with 100 percent agave (like Milagro or Sauza), you'll save a ton of money and still get a great-tasting drink. (mashed.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)
- American blended whiskeys are so inexpensive because they only have to contain 20 percent whiskey; the rest can be made up of neutral grain spirits, colorings, and flavorings. (mashed.com)

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It's best to serve it in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
