The perfect winter drink is the Mint Julep cocktail. Its pleasant taste is due in part to the use of a long shot of bourbon and very little else. You can make it stronger with a higher-proof Bourbon.

I would recommend the Old Fashioned. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, 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.
People started to add ice to the mixture and they added "Old-Fashioned", to the title, because they thought the old-fashioned version tasted more delicious.
You could also try a Manhattan. Another great option. It is basically an Old Fashioned variation. Instead of using bourbon, you use rye whiskey. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Mix all ingredients together before serving. The chilled glass is preferred. A good martini should always be served straight up. If you mix it, then you ruin the taste.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. Many types of vermouths are available, but we recommend choosing one that contains no added sugar. Too much sugar makes cocktails too sweet.
Start making a martini. Pour 2 ounces dried vermouth into an ice-filled shaker. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Mix well. In a chilled martini shaker, add the olive and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Don't shake the mixture too vigorously - just enough to combine all ingredients.
