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.

High Noon Vodka Soda

You can't go wrong with High Noon Vodka and a little club soda and lime!

Classic Margarita

tequila

We could drink these all day, no really. A classic margarita is fresh and never too sweet; the perfect balance of quality tequila mixed with the tartness of fresh squeezed lime juice. With salt or without (we always say with), on the rocks or frozen, we'll take 'em however we can get them.

The Last Word

First created in the Prohibition era, the Last Word's simple recipe of equal parts Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, Green Chartreuse, Junipero Gin and fresh lime juice belies the subtlety of this sweet-tart-herbal creation. Two men are credited with this cocktail's fame - its creator, vaudevillian Fred Fogarty, who allegedly first combined the four ingredients at the Detroit Athletic Club in 1921, and Seattle bartender Murray Stetson, who revived the Last Word at the Zig Zag Café in the early 2000s.
