What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. This classic cocktail is made with bourbon whiskey and sugar syrup.
This drink's name is a result of the fact that it was first served without ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
When people began adding ice to the mix they added "Old-Fashioned," to the title as they believed the old-fashioned version tasted best.
A Manhattan could be another option. Another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
Because it's simple to prepare, this is a favorite choice of bartenders.
Can I freeze cocktails ahead of time?
Yes! You can freeze cocktails. Place the bottles in an airtight plastic container and freeze them until you need them. The bottle(s), once thawed, can be served by placing them in a container and storing them in the freezer for at least one night.

How To
How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add ice cubes. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up in a chilled glass. The Four Deuces cocktail was first created in the 19th century. It consisted of two measures whisky, two measurements of rye and two measures gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both work equally well. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. Take two shots each of rye, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth. You will need eight shots of the gin. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
