What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
An Old Fashioned would be a great choice. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or 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.
You might also consider a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon, you use rye whiskey. Instead of sugar, sweet vermouth is used.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
