Classic Cocktails to Sip Through Every Season
Cocktails are absolute hits in all bars and restaurants. Ordering cocktails from a bar can be very expensive, though. Did you know that most of the all-season classic cocktails that you enjoy are super easy to make? Here is a list of classic cocktails you can try at home.
1. Margarita
Margarita is a classic cocktail that everyone loves. Nothing can beat the freshness of a cold margarita on a hot day. Add to a shaker two parts tequila, one part Cointreau, and one part of lime juice. Then, add some sugar syrup and mix well and serve in salt-rimmed glasses.
2. Moscow Mule
Moscow Mule is one of the easiest of all cocktails you can make at home. This is also one of the all-season classic cocktails that you can enjoy throughout the year. All you need is some lime juice, vodka, and ginger beer to make the drink. Add one portion of vodka, two portions of ginger beer, and a few squeezes of fresh lime and shake well. Enjoy the drink with a lemon wedge.
3. Martini
Who does not love a good martini? Martinis are classic and absolutely delicious after a long day at work. In a mixer, add some good quality gin, some vermouth, and some de-seeded olives. Give this a gentle stir and enjoy chilled. Your martini’s taste depends on the quality of the gin used. So, make sure to pick up a good bottle.
4. Whiskey and coke
This is also one of the most popular all-season classic cocktails because of its sheer simplicity and taste. All you need to do is add some whiskey to a glass and top it up with coke. Add cubes of ice and some lemon wedges, and enjoy the drink fresh.
5. Mimosa
Are you a champagne lover? Mimosas are perfect for you then. Mimosas are served for breakfast and brunch if you want to start your day with a punch. Add equal portions of champagne and orange juice and stir gently. Enjoy the drink chilled.
6. Brooklyn
Another all-season classic cocktails that you definitely can make at home is Brooklyn. You will need some whiskey, dry vermouth, and Angostura bitters to make the drink. You can substitute Angostura bitters with orange bitters, too. Add all these and ice to a serving glass and mix gently.
7. Manhattan
If you have all the ingredients to make a Brooklyn, you can also make a Manhattan easily. Add two parts whiskey, half part each of dry vermouth and sweet vermouth, and very little Angostura bitters. Mix well and serve in chilled glasses.
