What are good mixed beverages to order at a pub?
I would recommend an Old Fashioned. This is a classic cocktail made with bourbon whiskey.
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.
When people started adding ice to the mix, they added "Old-Fashioned" to the title because they felt the old-fashioned version tasted better.
You might also consider a Manhattan. Another option is the Manhattan. It is basically a variation of the Old Fashioned. You use rye whiskey instead of bourbon. Sweet vermouth is also used instead of sugar.
Because it is easy to prepare and delicious, this is a popular choice for bartenders.
What's the difference between a shaker and a blender?
Shakers are made from metal and can come in a variety of sizes. Blenders are made from plastic and come in a range of shapes.
Can I freeze my drinks?
There are some precautions to be aware of. You should label every bottle so you know which bottles have been frozen. Don't fill the bottles to more than half full. Otherwise, your drink might overflow or spill out of the bottle. Last but not least, wait at minimum two hours after opening a bottle to chill your drinks before you pour it into another container.

How To
How To Make The Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in any cocktail recipe is to find the right ingredients. For this drink, we're going to use Cognac, which is a French distilled spirit made from fermented grapes. You'll often see it aged for a while in oak barrels. Cognac is available at specialty liquor shops and online retailers like Amazon.com.
Next, we will add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. One cup of granulated white Sugar will be dissolved in a small saucepan. Heat on medium. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves (about five minutes). Pour enough cold tapwater to cover sugar by 2 inches. Allow to rest overnight. Strain the sugar crystals out of the cheesecloth and dispose them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Place the Cognac in a shaker and fill it halfway with ice cubes. Add the simple syrup to the remainder of the shaker. Mix vigorously for 10 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glasses. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
