    The document provides recipes for classic cocktails like the Negroni, Manhattan, Daiquiri, Pisco Sour, Sidecar, Old Fashioned, Mint Julep and Mojito.

    A Negroni contains 1 oz London Dry Gin, 1 oz Campari, 1 oz Sweet Vermouth. It is stirred with ice and strained into a rocks glass with fresh ice and garnished with citrus peel.

    A Manhattan contains 2 oz Rye Whiskey or Bourbon, 1 oz Italian Sweet Vermouth and 2-3 dashes of Angostura Bitters. It is stirred with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass and garnished with a cherry or lemon twist.

    Classic Cocktail Recipes

    Negroni
     1 oz London Dry Gin (don’t mess around on this part)
     1 oz Campari (likewise)
     1 oz Sweet Vermouth (we like Antica Formula for its richness)

    Combine ingredients in a mixing glass. Fill with ice, stir and strain into a rocks
    glass with fresh ice. Garnish your negroni with an orange or lemon peel (you
    may want to squeeze the outer essential oils across the mouth of the glass first).

    Manhattan
     2 oz Straight Rye Whiskey (Bourbon in a pinch)
     1 oz Italian Sweet Vermouth (Martini Rosso works well)
     2 - 3 dashes Angostura Bitters

    It seems like you can’t mess this one up, but it happens. Practice till you get it
    right. Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice, stir well and strain
    into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry or lemon twist. A Dry
    Manhattan replaces the sweet vermouth with dry, a Perfect splits the measure
    into equal parts dry and sweet vermouth.

    Daiquiri
     1 1/2 oz White Rum
     3/4 oz Simple Syrup
     3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice

    This one has strayed so far over the decades. Bring it back home. Combine
    ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Add ice, shake and strain into a small cocktail
    glass. Some purists prefer fine grain sugar to simple, and more rum.

    Pisco Sour
     2 oz Pisco (try the new La Caravedo)
     1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
     1 oz Simple Syrup
     1 egg white
     3 - 4 dashes Angostura Bitters
    Combine all ingredients except bitters in a cocktail shaker. “Dry” shake first
    (without ice) to emulsify the egg white. Add ice, shake till well chilled and
    strain into a small cocktail glass. If you catch the foam in a fine strainer, you
    can spoon it on top of the drink. Dash bitters on the foam.

    Sidecar
     1 1/2 oz Cognac
     3/4 oz Cointreau
     1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
     Granulated Sugar for the rim

    In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients except the sugar. Shake well and
    strain into a cocktail glass with a sugared rim, neat or over crushed ice. Garnish
    with an orange peel.

    Old Fashioned
     2 oz Straight Bourbon, Rye or Cognac
     Sugar Cube
     3 dashes Angostura Bitters
     Lemon Peel

    This should be the first drink you learn to customize and craft perfectly. Place
    the sugar in the bottom of an Old Fashioned glass. Dash bitters onto it and
    muddle until dissolved (this would also be where you muddle the cherry and
    orange slice if that’s how you roll). Add a large ice cube and bourbon, and stir
    lightly. Top with club soda if desired.

    Mint Julep
     2 1/2 oz Straight Kentucky Bourbon (not worth messing around on!)
     1 oz Simple Syrup (or 2 tsp granulated sugar)
     3 - 5 mint sprigs

    In a Highball glass, add four to six mint leaves, simple syrup and a teaspoon of
    water. Muddle *very* lightly (you want essences here, not the bitter oils). Add
    half the bourbon, then top with crushed ice. Stir until chilled. Add more ice and
    the rest of the bourbon. Stir again to chill. Garnish with a mint sprig (or three!)
    and top with more crushed ice to create a dome. Serve with a straw.
    Mojito
     1 1/2 oz White Rum
     3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice
     3/4 oz Simple Syrup
     Mint Sprig
     4 - 6 Mint Leaves

    The key here is fresh ingredients. In a mixing glass, add simple and mint leaves.
    Muddle lightly (don’t demolish the mint). Add the lime juice and rum, add ice
    and shake well. Strain into a Highball or Collins glass filled with fresh crushed
    ice (or pour it all straight in without straining). Top with club soda and garnish
    with a fresh mint sprig.
