I saw this on Serious Eats website and now it is on my Bucket List to do.

25 Cocktails Everyone Should Know

Here is the list of 25 Essential Cocktails:

• Old Fashioned
• Martinez
• Martini— Check — but I don’t look as cool as people on TV do drinking this.
• Manhattan
• Brooklyn
• Daiquiri — Check — this is a fun drink to have on a cruise.
• Margarita — Check — Yes, I have had many.
• Sidecar
• French 75
• Bloody Mary — Check — this is a Sunday brunch type of drink.
• Irish Coffee — Check — an after dinner drink.
• Jack Rose
• Negroni
• Boulevardier
• Sazerac
• Vieux Carré
• Ramos Gin Fizz
• Mint Julep — Check — lived in Louisville and you can’t live there and not have Mint Julep’s during the Derby.
• Whiskey Sour — Check — had to do something with the left over whiskey.
• Mai Tai — Check — there was this 70’s style bar in my hometown that I would have this as a drink.
• Planter’s Punch — Check — dangerous drink, it tastes like Kool-Aid, until you try to stand up.
• Pisco Sour
• Tom Collins — Check — and I just brought the powdered mix to make them again.
• Last Word
• Cosmopolitan — Check — when I went to Vancouver, BC, I had these at the hotel.

 

So, I guess I got some drinking to do. Let’s see how many on this list on can check off until my birthday in December.

Cheers, everyone!
