1
Old Fashioned
This classic dark spirit and dramatically simple cocktail for guys, which was earlier made with bourbon, works just as well with rum as it does with whiskey. Its first appearance was at a Kentucky gentleman’s club back in the 1880’s. It’s time you woo your girl’s father in an old fashioned way!
Recipe: It’s made by muddling cubed sugars, American whiskey, angostura bitters and a splash of soda water. Garnish with an orange slice or a maraschino cherry.
2
The Manhattan
With a name like that, it’s bound to be sophisticated and classy. Another whiskey-based cocktail, you can enjoy different variations of it because it’s a very a basic formula and can be played around. Nonetheless, a classic cocktail, apt for those crazy house-parties.
Recipe: It combines Canadian whiskey or rye, sweet vermouth and angostura bitters. Use a lemon peel to garnish.
3
Brandy Alexander
Its rich, creamy and smooth taste would make Brandy Alexander more of a grown-up shake than a cocktail, and deceivingly so. However, the presence of cognac will easily remind you of its sourness. This is ideal to sip on a lazy holiday with your bunch of friends.
Recipe: In a shaker half-filled with ice cubes, combine the brandy, crème de cacao and milk and cream in equal parts. Garnish it with a nutmeg.
4
Whiskey Sour
It’s a classic that commands respect, which is why it’s not meant for everyone. The drink dates back to early 1870’s and hence is elegant in its simplicity. If you've got a formal meeting or need to impress a woman, this can be your go-to drink.
Recipe: Shake blended whiskey, juice of lemon, a dash of egg white and powdered sugar with ice. Strain into a whiskey sour glass. Decorate with the half-slice of lemon and top with the cherry.
5
Sidecar
A popular French cocktail for guys invented around the First World War, this drink can be best enjoyed with your spouse for its unisex qualities. Tangy and sweet and just a bit tart, Sidecar’s a great way to start your 7-course meal!
Recipe: Use Cointreau, lemon juice and cognac: shake well over ice and pour it into sugar rimmed glasses. Garnish with a lemon twist.
