What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
A Manhattan is also an option. This is another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
Finding the right ingredients is the first step to making a cocktail recipe. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. You will usually find it clear, but you may see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar that is dissolved in water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). You should add enough cold tap water to completely cover the sugar. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
Our Brandy Alexander Cocktail will be made with Cognac and simple syrup. Pour the Cognac into a shaker filled halfway with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. For 10 seconds, shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glasses. Top off the Brandy Alexander with a splash of soda water and garnish with a lemon twist.
