The Bizzy Izzy, a sherry and whiskey highball that

The Bizzy Izzy, a sherry and whiskey highball that was created before prohibition but wouldn’t be out of place in a modern cocktail bar.

Pineapple and lemon juice make this into a highball with great balance between fruity and complex.

Created in 1917 by Tom Bolluck, the first black bartender to publish a bar manual.

What exactly makes the Improved Whiskey Cocktail “improved”?
.
Its flavor is closely related to the Sazerac with rich anise notes coming from the absinthe and Peychaud’s bitters, but those herbal twangs get an extra boost with a splash of Maraschino liquor.
.
If you’re into cocktails with a background of complexity this should be on your list to try.

A classic Old Fashioned is just as much a template

A classic Old Fashioned is just as much a template as it is a recipe, right? Booze, bitters, and sweetness has more combinations than you could taste in a lifetime.
.
Mixing it up by using rum as the base is a real tasty way to make the classic Old Fashioned into a different drink.
.
The Old Fashioned might be the best way to test out how those new bitters you bought work too.

Nothin catches the eye like a bright neon blue coc

Nothin catches the eye like a bright neon blue cocktail. A little gin, blue curaçao, lemon soda, and you’re well on your way to a sweet citrusy Aqua Velva.
.
To take this cocktail up just a notch try swapping out the standard 7up or sprite for something with more lemony zing like Sanpellegrino or Fever Tree.
.
Not every cocktail is complicated, and they sure don’t need to be!
