3 Must-Try Classic Cocktail Recipes
Cocktails have been a symbol of joy and remedy. These drinks are usually a stimulating mixture of alcohol, water, sugar, and other ingredients like spices, fruit juices or bitters, and citrus. With years of mixing legacy, there are over a thousand cocktails you can choose to serve your guests. That said, the classics still bring the spirit of the old times! Here are a few classic cocktail recipes that are perfect for entertaining guests: 1. Sazerac Created in the famous Sazerac Coffee House during the mid-1800s, the Sazerac was originally made with absinthe, simple syrup, and Peychaud’s bitters. The modern version of this classic cocktail recipe is rye whiskey-based, and it is the official drink of New Orleans—perfect for entertaining guests! Place three ice cubes in a glass (preferably an old-fashioned one) and let it cool the glass while you prepare the cocktail. Slowly place the sugar cube at the bottom of a mixing glass, pour three dashes of Peychaud’s bitters, and muddle the cube. Add three ounces of rye whiskey to the bitter sugar and stir well until the sugar dissolves. Discard the ice from the old-fashioned glass, rinse it with absinthe, and discard that as well. Pour the cocktail into the glass and gently squeeze a lemon twist over the cocktail.
