The Cocktail

The perfect balance of fruity red wine and smoky-sweet bourbon, the New York Sour cocktail is a classic for a reason. Shaking the cocktail with large ice cubes will chill the cocktail without diluting it — and those large cubes look great in a rocks glass, too. Be sure to pour the wine slowly over the back of the spoon to create the perfect float. If you’re feeling adventurous, add an egg white to the shaker for a thicker viscosity.

The mojito is one of the world’s most popular cocktails. It’s a simple mixed drink of rum, mint, lime, sugar, and club soda, and a muddler and stirring spoon are the only tools required. While some bartenders dislike making mojitos because they require a bit more work than other cocktails, it’s easy to make from scratch and comes together in just a few minutes.
