More details

The Mimosa is the kind of drink that feels like sunlight in a glass—bright, bubbly, and effortlessly celebratory. While sparkling wine and citrus had been paired in Europe for years, the modern Mimosa is most often linked to 1920s Paris, where bartenders at the Ritz popularized an easy, elegant mix of Champagne and fresh orange juice for guests who wanted something lighter than straight bubbles. Named after the golden mimosa flower, it became a brunch classic because it’s refreshing, gently festive, and dangerously easy to sip.

More details

The Black Russian cocktail first appeared in 1949 and is ascribed to Gustave Tops, a Belgian barman, who created it at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in honor of Perle Mesta, then United States Ambassador to Luxembourg. The cocktail owes its name to the use of vodka, a typical Russian spirit, and the blackness of the coffee liqueur.

More details

Just as the name suggests, the Bourbon Old Fashioned is quite an old drink. In fact, it can be connected to the first recorded definition of a cocktail over 200 years ago, which called for spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. The Old Fashioned ticks all those boxes with whiskey, sugar, water, and bitters.

More details

The traditional cocktail known as a black russian, which first appeared in 1949, becomes a white Russian with the addition of cream. Neither drink has any known Russian origin, but both are so-named due to vodka being the primary ingredient. The white Russian saw a surge in popularity after the 1998 release of the film The Big Lebowski. Throughout the movie, it appears as the beverage of choice for the protagonist, Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski.

More details

Dating back to 16th-century Cuba, the Mojito — made from rum, lime, mint, and sugar — was supposedly consumed for medicinal purposes. Eventually, it became known as the Mojito, as it first appeared in the 1932 edition of “Sloppy Joe’s Bar Cocktails Manual.” Sloppy Joe´s was a famed bar in Havana and the Mojito only consists of ingredients native to Cuba.

More details

1oz CAMPARI, 1oz VERMOUTH, 1oz GIN As the story goes, the Negroni was invented in a bar in Florence, Italy in the early 20th century by the Italian Count Camillo Negroni. He asked the bartender to strengthen his cocktail, an Americano, so the bartender replaced the soda water with gin and added an orange peel instead of the Americano’s typical lemon peel. Now the experimental drink of gin, vermouth, and Campari has become a popular cocktail even outside of Italy.

Gin & Tonic

More details

2oz GIN, TONIC WATER The cocktail was created by officers of the Presidency armies, the military force of the East India Company which operated on the India subcontinent. In the India subcontinent and other tropical regions, malaria was a persistent problem for Europeans, and in the 18th century, Scottish doctor George Cleghorn studied how quinine, a traditional cure for malaria, could be used to prevent the disease. The quinine was drunk in tonic water but the bitter taste was unpleasant. Presidency armies officers in India in the early 19th century took to adding a mixture of water, sugar, lime and gin to the quinine in order to make the drink more palatable, and thus the gin and tonic cocktail was born. The officers were already given a gin ration as part of their rations, and the sweet concoction made sense. Since it is no longer used as an antimalarial, tonic water today contains much less quinine, is usually sweetened, and is consequently much less bitter.

More details

The Pisco Sour is a favorite cocktail native to Peru or Chile, as both countries claim to have created the drink. By mixing pisco, lime juice, egg white, and bitters, you get a tangy, smooth, and bold Pisco Sour cocktail. Pisco is a South American grape brandy that is made from distilled wine. Its main flavor is grapes, as there are about 15 pounds of grapes in a bottle, but it can also have subtle nuances of lime, orange, pecans, almonds, apple, peach, vanilla, or syrup.

More details

1 1/2oz APEROL, 2oz SODA, 3oz PROSECCO Served as an aperitivo (a light pre-meal drink), the Aperol Spritz originated in Italy in 1919. While you’d find Europeans enjoying this cocktail with Aperol, bubbly wine, and sparkling water ever since that time, the Aperol Spritz didn’t make it big in the U.S. until the 2010s. But with only three ingredients and a light alcohol content, this easy-to-drink cocktail can now be found at brunches and happy hours around the world.
