What are some great mixed drinks that you can order at the bar?
I would recommend the Old Fashioned. It is a classic cocktail that includes bourbon whiskey with sugar syrup, bitters and water.
The drink's original name was derived from the fact it was not served with ice. Original recipe called for only whiskey, sugar, sweetener, and bitters.
Because they liked the taste of the old-fashioned version, people added ice to their mix.
You could also try a Manhattan. Another great option. This is essentially a variant on the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Instead of sugar, you use sweet Vermouth.
Bartenders love this recipe because it is simple to make and tastes great.
