Sweet drinks were traditionally the only way women could make their evenings special. Women were allowed to have gin, wine or other beverages but not to consume strong, dark liquors. These drinks were not often considered to be ladylike. Bartenders created "girly", or sweetened, drinks with alcohol that addressed this problem.
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 made with gin, lime and herbal liqueurs. It is perfect for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan, on the other hand, was invented by a New York bartender. Cosmopolitan was the feminine name of the drink. The drink was originally a martini, but became popular when it was made famous on the television show Sex and the City.
Another girly drink is the appletini, which is a mixed drink made with apple juice or brandy, and vodka. It's also considered a mirror of the screwdriver.
Other cocktails for ladies include the No Sleep Till, which is made with apricot liqueur, Aperol, and a splash of lemon juice. This is a great drink for ladies nights. Aside from a classic cocktail, a good evening is made up of laughter, gossip, and a drink.
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. The drink is traditionally served with an ice cube, but it's also tasty served with a slice of lime.
Another cocktail that ladies love is the Mint Julep. This cocktail is made with two sugar cubes and fresh, minty leaves. It's great for a movie night or at a party in the south.
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 It was originally made with orange juice or peach schnapps.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. The cocktail was first created in the early 20th-century, but it was only popular with the upper-class. The Raffles Hotel clientele was wealthy and famous, so the cocktail was a big hit.
More bartenders are updating their cocktail flavor profiles to bring out the feminine side of classic cocktails. The Cosmopolitan, for instance, has been de-feminized in order to appeal more to men. It's still a sweet drink that's very drinkable.
Crazy Frog, a flirty and fun cocktail for women, is another option. Crazy Frog, just like the mojitos, is great to bring along to a party or on a girls' night. It is also great for any season.
Some men don't mix sweet and alcohol, despite the popularity of these girly drinks. They want to try something new every time they pour into their glass.

How To
How to order drinks from the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
