Manhattan -The original martini. Back in the day when people had the robust taste buds to stomach strong alcoholic drinks, the martini was made with rye whiskey, and it was called the Manhattan.
How to make it – 2 oz whiskey, 1 oz vermouth, 2 drops of bitters. Pour into a shaker with ice. Swirl. Strain into a manhattan, or martini glass.
Why – Because it’s a man’s martini. This classic drink really relies on the quality of whiskey or bourbon for its taste. Ordering at a bar can be costly, so if you splurge on a decent bottle for your house, you can enjoy these anytime.

Tom Collins –A Tom Collins is a gin and soda that doesn’t taste like crap. It’s the drink that you would make if you had more than just gin and well, soda at your house.
How to make it – 2 oz gin, 1 oz lemon juice, 3 oz club soda, 1 oz  simple syrup, 1 maraschino cherry, 1 orange slice. Put the gin, lemon juice, and simple syrup into a shaker with ice. Shake well then strain into a collins or highball glass with ice. Add the club soda, cherry, and orange, and stir.
You can modify this recipe by using sour mix or lime juice, instead of the lemon juice. A lot of people also add a little grenadine.
Why – Because you’ve always heard of it, but never knew what it was.

Margarita – The quintessential beach drink. If you don’t live near the beach, it’s the quintessential backyard drink. If you don’t have a back yard, it’s the quintessential shirtless drink.
How to make it – Tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Adjust the levels to taste. You’re going to have to salt the rim of the glass, which works surprisingly well on solo cups. Whatever your glass of choice, rub a lime along the edge of the glass, and then roll it through salt. You can also give the glass a sugar rim job, if that’s your preference.
Why – Because it’s five o’clock somewhere.
