Sweet drinks have been a way for women to make their evenings memorable in the past. They could have wine, gin, or any other beverage, but they weren't allowed to drink dark liquors. These drinks were often not considered ladies-friendly. Bartenders invented "girly" drinks, which were sweetened but still contained alcohol.
One such cocktail is the Singapore sling, which was created in the early 20th century by a bartender at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. The sling is a mixture of gin and lime along with herbal liqueurs. It is perfect for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan, on the other hand, was invented by a New York bartender. The drink's name, "cosmo," was thought to be a feminine name for a cosmopolitan. The drink was originally a martini, but became popular when it was made famous on the television show Sex and the City.
The appletini is another girly drink. It is a mix of vodka and brandy apple juice. It is also considered a "mirror," of the screwdriver, which was created in the same period.
There are also cocktails that can be enjoyed by ladies, such as the No Sleep Till. It is made with Aperol, Aperol liqueur and a splash each of lemon juice. This cocktail is great for ladies night. Apart from a classic cocktail and gossip, a great night is full of laughter, chatter, and a beverage.
Gin and Tonic is another classic drink. It is made with tonic water and Gin. Although it is refreshing, the combination of tonic water and gin can be quite strong. It is usually served with an ice cube but you can also enjoy it with a slice or lime.
A popular drink among women is the Mint Julep. It's made using 2 sugar cubes as well as fresh mint leaves. This drink is great to enjoy at a Southern party or movie night.
The fuzzy nub cocktail, however, was too sweet. It was originally made with orange juice or peach schnapps. But, it's now made with fresh citrus and lemon juice. Although this cocktail was popularized in the 20th century, it was not widely known beyond the upper classes. The Raffles Hotel had a glamorous clientele and the cocktail was a huge success.
Bartenders are changing the flavor profiles of cocktails to balance the feminine elements of classic drinks. The Cosmopolitan, for example, has been de-feminized to appeal to more men. It is still a sweet drink, but it's highly drinkable.
Crazy Frog is another fun drink for ladies. Crazy Frog can be brought to any party or to a girls' evening out. It can be enjoyed at any time of the year.
Despite the popularity of these girly drinks, some men still don't mix alcohol and sweet beverages. They are looking for something new in their glass.
