Women used to depend on sweet drinks to make their evenings extra special. Although they were allowed to consume gin, wine, and other beverages, they were not permitted to consume strong or dark liquors. These drinks were often not considered "ladylike". Bartenders created "girly", or sweetened, drinks with alcohol that addressed this problem.
Singapore sling is a popular cocktail. It was first created by a bartender in Singapore's Raffles Hotel. The sling is a mix of gin (lime) and herbal spirits. It's a great drink for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan was created by a New York bartender. Cosmopolitan, the drink's name, was originally a feminine name. The drink started as a martini but was popularized by the television series Sex and the City.
Another girly drink is the appletini, which is a mixed drink made with apple juice or brandy, and vodka. It's also considered a mirror of the screwdriver.
You can also make the No Sleep Till cocktail with Aperol, Aperol and some lemon juice. This cocktail is perfect for a ladies' night. Aside from a classic cocktail, a good evening is made up of laughter, gossip, and a drink.
Another classic drink is the Gin and Tonic, which is made with tonic water and gin. Although it is refreshing, the combination of tonic water and gin can be quite strong. The drink is traditionally served with an ice cube, but it's also tasty served with a slice of lime.
The Mint Julep is another cocktail that's popular among ladies. It is made from 2 sugar cubes, fresh mint leaves, and 2 sugar cubes. This drink is great to enjoy at a Southern party or movie night.
The fuzzy nave cocktail was, however, a sweet and cloying drink. The original recipe was made with orange juice, peach schnapps and sugar syrup. It is now made using fresh orange and lemon juice. Although the cocktail was popular in the early twentieth century, its popularity was restricted to the upper-class. The Raffles Hotel clientele was wealthy and famous, so the cocktail was a big hit.
Bartenders have been updating the flavour profiles of their cocktails in an effort to balance out the feminine characteristics of old drinks. For example, the Cosmopolitan has been made more masculine to appeal to men. It is still a sweet drink, but it's highly drinkable.
Another drink for ladies is the Crazy Frog, which is a fun and flirty cocktail. The Crazy Frog, like the mojito is great to bring to a party. It's great any time of the day.
Despite the popularity of these girly drinks, some men still don't mix alcohol and sweet beverages. They're looking for something different to sip in their glass.

What are the best mixed drinks to order at bars?
An Old Fashioned is a drink I recommend. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
This drink is named after the fact that it was originally made without any ice. The original recipe contained only whiskey, sugar and bitters.
When people started adding ice to the mix, they added "Old-Fashioned" to the title because they felt the old-fashioned version tasted better.
A Manhattan could be another option. Another great option is the Manhattan. It is basically an Old Fashioned variation. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. And instead of using sugar, you use sweet vermouth.
This is a popular choice among bartenders because it's easy to make and tastes delicious.

How To
How do you make a great martini?
A martini consists of gin (or vodka), vermouth and ice. The ingredients must be mixed together properly before serving. It is best served chilled in a glass. It should be enjoyed straight up. It will taste bad if it is mixed.
Two olives are the most popular way to serve a martini. If you wish to add more flavor to your drink, you can put olive brine around the rim.
Any type of alcohol can be used, however it is best to use 100% grain alcohol such as Vodka and Gin. This gives the cocktail smoother texture. There are many varieties of vermouths, but we recommend using one without added sugar. Sugar can make cocktails too sweet.
Pour 2 ounces dry vermouth into a shaker with ice to make a martini. 1 ounce vodka. Add 1 ounce vodka to the mixture and shake vigorously. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. Do not shake the mixture more than necessary to mix all the ingredients.
