9 classic cocktails everyone should learn how to make
Having a few good cocktail recipes in your back pocket is arguably the best accessory you can carry.
But overstocking your home bar and trying to learn a bunch of drinks all at once isn't a good idea. Start with one recipe, make it a few times, and then move on to another drink that uses similar ingredients. For instance, start by perfecting the Old Fashioned and then pick up some mint and crushed ice and work on your Mint Julep.
