What are good mixed drinks to order at a bar?
I would recommend an Old Fashioned. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. The original recipe only called for whiskey, sugar, or bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
Another option is to try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
