An Old Fashioned is something I recommend. This classic cocktail consists of bourbon whiskey mixed with sugar syrup, bitters, water, and other ingredients.
The name comes from the fact that this drink was originally served without ice. The original recipe called for just whiskey, sugar, and bitters.
People added ice to the mix and then they added "Old-Fashioned", because they thought it tasted better.
You could also try a Manhattan. Another great option. It's basically a variation on the Old Fashioned. Instead of using bourbon you use rye whisky. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.
This is a popular option for bartenders due to its simplicity and delicious taste.

The type of drink being mixed by bartenders will determine the type of ice they use. For most drinks, cubed is used. While crushed ice for shakes or other non-carbonated drinks is used.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step to creating a cocktail is choosing the right ingredients. We will be using Cognac, which, as the name suggests, is a French distilled spirit that is made from fermented wine. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Over medium heat, we will dissolve 1 cup of granulated brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. The liquid can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
We will combine Cognac with simple syrup to make our Brandy Alexander Cocktail. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. The rest of the mixture should be filled with simple syrup. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Finish the Brandy Alexander by adding a splash more soda water. Garnish it with a lemon twist.
