4 Cocktails You Should Not Drink When You Drive!

Drinking is often an enjoyable experience for people. But no matter how much fun some cocktails are while drinking, you should never drive after consuming those cocktails because the alcohol content of these cocktails will be quite high and will make your driving experience quite dangerous. While drinking cocktails, you are very likely to get caught up in the beauty of the taste of what you drink and not understand the alcohol. We wanted to tell you about four great cocktails that you shouldn't drive after drinking.

What's Up, Doc Cocktail

The first is the What's Up, Doc cocktail. This cocktail was created by Eddy Rocha, head bartender at SaltRock Southwest Kitchen Amara Resort & Spa in Sedona, and is known as his signature cocktail. It contains freshly squeezed carrot and ginger, herbal Ferrnet-Branca and fresh lime juice, plus an aromatic herb garnish. This fresh cocktail may make you feel refreshed, but because it contains bourbon, it is not recommended to drive even after just one glass. Because your blood alcohol level will probably be high, and you are very likely to lose your driver's license. If you get pulled over for drunk driving, you can get the best DWAI Defense attorney in Greeley, CO, to help you defend yourself and maybe even get off with the least penalty.

Turf Club Coctail

This cocktail contains London dry gin, Maraschino liqueur, dry vermouth, absinthe, and orange angostura bitters. This cocktail can be seen as a variant of the Martini, but we should also say that it came out before the Martini. If we need to look at the history of the cocktail's origin, we can go back to the late 1800s. The first cocktail recipe was published in 1884 and has great similarities with the Martinez cocktail. In the Bartender's Manual by Harry Johnson, who shared and immortalized this recipe with people, you can also access many different recipes and create different cocktails.

Lion's Tail Cocktail

The Lion's Tail Cocktail contains bourbon whiskey, lime juice, sugar syrup, pimento dram, all-spice liqueur and angostura bitters. The first recipe for this cocktail was published in 1937 by The Cafe Royal Cocktail Book, but some believe that the creation of this cocktail dates back to Prohibition. Even though the book containing the cocktail was published in London, it is often thought that the Americans invented the cocktail. Even if the cocktail hasn't been favored for a long time, it has recently regained its popularity. Aromatic and spicy, this cocktail offers people a very wonderful experience.

Suffering Bastard Cocktail

Suffering Bastard, which does not suffer like its name, contains bourbon whiskey, London dry gin, lime juice, angostura bitters, and ginger beer. According to the stories, Joe Scialom, the barkeep of Shepheard's, searched for a cocktail to cure the hangovers of the soldiers in WW 2, and the result of this search is said to be Suffering Bastard.
