French 75 cocktail
The French 75 cocktail is a classic choice for those who enjoy classic cocktails. This cocktail's name is inspired by the 75mm French field gun used in World War I. The cocktail was created by Harry MacElhone, a bartender at the New York Bar in Paris. It was originally served in highball glasses. Modern French 75s are served in flutes. There have been many variations of the classic cocktail over its history, but the main ingredients remain unchanged. This classic cocktail recipe uses gin with lemon juice and Champagne. Its flavors range from tart to herbal to effervescent.
French 75 cocktail recipes can be made using either a base of lemon-gin or sparkling wines. The alcohol is diluted by shaking the drink with ice. This is essential to create a smooth taste. To further dilute the drink, you may also want to pre-batch it by adding about 1/4 ounce of water to each drink.
Old Fashioned cocktail
The Old Fashioned cocktail is one of the classics. It can be made many ways. Bulleit Bourbon, sugar, and bitters are the basic ingredients. It is a simple yet complex drink. One of the best ways to serve it is over ice, with two inches of ice being the minimum.
You can make it by adding ice to an ice-filled rocks glass. Mix the simple syrup, bourbon and cranberry bitters together. Stir well with a wooden spoon. Spiced rum can be added to give it an interesting twist. The spiced rum will mix well with the bitters and sugar. Add a slice of persimmon to the mix.
Sazerac cocktail
Sazerac is a local variation of the cognac. The name of the cognac Sazerac de Forge et Fils is what gave it its name. The perfect combination of whiskey and cognac makes this drink delicious. This cocktail is ideal for any occasion.
Sazerac: An elegant, strong cocktail. Although traditionally made with rye it can also be made using original cognac, or bourbon. Traditionally, the Sazerac is served in a lemon twist. Although this cocktail is strong it's an excellent alternative to an Old Fashioned.
Chicago fizz
The Chicago Fizz is an unusual and delicious variation of the classic fizz cocktail. It is made with rum and port wine, lemon juices, sugar, egg white, and honey. It is usually served over ice in Collins glasses. Although it's not entirely clear what the recipe is or how it came to be, it is thought that it originated in Chicago. However, it first appeared in New York City in 1935. It is also mentioned as Old Mr. Boston in the Waldorf-Astoria cocktail books.
Although there are many ways to make Chicago Fizz recipes, the best ones will contain Ruby Port and Dark Rum. These spirits add lots of flavour to the drink.
