FAQ
What size ice tray do I require?
You'll need either a 6 x 8-inch or a 5 x 7-inch ice cube tray.
What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. This classic cocktail is made with bourbon whiskey and sugar syrup.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
People added ice to the mix and then they added "Old-Fashioned", because they thought it tasted better.
Another option is to try a Manhattan. This is another great option. It's basically a version of the Old Fashioned. Instead of using Bourbon, you can use Rye Whiskey. Instead of sugar, sweet vermouth is used.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
