Blackened(r) Mint Julep

Mint juleps can be served in silver julep cups. Mint Juleps are made entirely from bourbon so it is important to use only the best bourbon.

There are many types of ice that bartenders can use depending on what type of drink they are mixing. Cubed ice is best for most drinks; crushed ice works well for shakes, and other non-carbonated drinks.


What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?

An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. It's a classic cocktail with bourbon whiskey, sugar syrup, bitters, and water.

This name derives from the fact that the original recipe was made without ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.

When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.

A Manhattan is also an option. Another great option. This is essentially a variant on the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. You also use sweet vermouth instead of sugar.

How To

How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional

One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it in his book, "The Savoy Bar Book", (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.

Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.

Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
