What Are the Best Cocktails to Try

If you like to drink alcohol and like to experiment with new recipes, this is the article for you. The history of cocktails in general goes back a very long time and they have survived from the past to the present. You can try these cocktails at home with a few different ingredients or try them the next time you go out.

Pisco Sour

This cocktail is known as a cultural cocktail from South America, specifically from the Peruvian garden, and is named after its main ingredient, pisco. There are legends that this cocktail was created in a Peruvian bar in the 1920s, and it quickly became one of the most popular drinks in the region, even becoming a Peruvian signature drink. This cocktail also uses egg white, which gives it a smooth texture. If you try these cocktails out, you must take a taxi home afterward because drunk driving can cause accidents and you may have to negotiate long hours with a Longview motorcycle accident lawyer.

Millionnaire Cocktail

Originating during the Prohibition era, the Millionnaire cocktail is sour and contains bourbon whiskey, and Grand Marnier, a French orange liqueur. This liqueur is made from cognac, grenadine, lemon juice and absinthe. The key to making a cocktail is that the lemon juice has to be very fresh. If not only the lemon juice but also the grenadine is fresh, you will have what you want. If you make the grenadine at home and don't buy it from the store, you will get a cocktail with a much more wonderful flavor. For the times you can't find absinthe, pastis liqueur can be an alternative. You need to use raw eggs in the recipe, but if you are one of those people who don't like raw eggs in alcohol, you can skip this step.

The Last Word

This cocktail is said to have originated in a bar in Detroit in the early 1920s and other cocktails that disappeared during the Prohibition period but became popular again in the early 2000s. The reason for the name is that after drinking this cocktail, people want to have another drink. The combination of green Chartreuse and maraschino liqueur gives the cocktail a slightly sweet and bitter taste.

Blood and Sand

For this cocktail, we go back to the year 1922 and this time our location is New York. Harry Craddock, a bartender at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, created this cocktail by mixing Scotch whiskey, sweet vermouth and fruit wines. One of the most popular cocktails of its time, Blood and Sand was named after a movie released at the time. We think it might be possible to understand the dramatic structure of the movie from the cocktail.

All of these cocktails appeal to different tastes and we recommend you try them when you go out one day. If you wish, you can look up detailed cocktail recipes online and try them at home.
