Classic Recipes

Classic cocktails like the Dirty Martini and Old Fashioned have a special place in any mixology lover's heart. Classic drink recipes like these typically date back to the pre-prohibition era and are often made from only a few simple ingredients, like the Manhattan. There's nothing wrong with sipping on the latest cocktail craze (we see you ice ball cocktails) but make sure you brush up on the classics.

The Ford's Negroni

The ultimate aperitivo, the Negroni was reportedly created in 1919 by a bartender at Caffe Casoni in Florence, Italy for Count Camillo Negroni when he requested his regular drink, the Americano, be strengthened by replacing the soda water with gin. The combination of gin, sweet vermouth and Campari can be a challenge to the uninitiated but once converted few ever turn away from this most assured blend of flavors.

Sparkling Boulevardier

This classic cocktail gets dressed up for the holidays with some bubbles and a fragrant garnish. If you're looking to stick closer to tradition, skip the rosemary and add a Luxardo cherry.
