What are the best mixed drinks to order at bars?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
The drink's original name was derived from the fact it was not served with 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.
Another option is to try a Manhattan. Another option is the Manhattan. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
