FAQ
What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, sugar syrup, bitters, and water.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. Original recipe used whiskey, sugar, bitters, and other ingredients.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
A Manhattan is also an option. This is another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using whiskey, you use Rye whiskey. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before you serve, mix all the ingredients well. It is typically served in chilled glasses. It is best to have a martini straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most common way to serve martinis. You can also add olive brine to the rim of your glass if you want to make your drink more flavorful.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. 1 ounce vodka is added. Shake vigorously until well combined. Place in a chilled martini glasses and garnish with an olive.
Make a martini recipe using a shaker. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
