Traditionally, women have had to rely on sweet drinks to make their evenings 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 feminine. Bartenders created "girly", or sweetened, drinks with alcohol that addressed this problem.
Singapore sling is one example of such a cocktail. It was created by a bartender at Raffles Hotel in Singapore in the early part of the 20th century. The sling is a combination of gin, lime, and herbal liqueurs. This drink is great for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan, however, was created by a New York-based bartender. Cosmopolitan was the feminine name of the drink. The original drink was a martini. However, it became famous when Sex and the City made it popular.
The appletini (a mixed drink made from apple juice or brandy and vodka) is another girly beverage. It is also known as a "mirror", which is a reference to the screwdriver that was invented during the same time period.
The No Sleep Till cocktail is another option for women. It's made with Aperol, Aperol and a splash lemon juice. This cocktail is great for ladies night. An evening of laughter, conversation, and a glass of wine is more than just a classic cocktail.
Gin and Tonic (made with tonic water and Gin) is another classic drink. The combination of gin and tonic is a very refreshing drink, though it can be a bit strong. Traditionally, the drink is served with an icecube. However, it can be enjoyed with a slice lemon.
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. It is a wonderful drink to enjoy at a southern party, movie night, or any other occasion.
The fuzzy nave cocktail on the other hand was a very sweet 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 this cocktail was popularized in the 20th century, it was not widely known beyond the upper classes. The Raffles Hotel clientele was wealthy and famous, so the cocktail was a big hit.
Bartenders are changing the flavor profiles of cocktails to balance the feminine elements of classic drinks. The Cosmopolitan is an example of a drink that has been de-feminized to appeal more men. It is still a sweet drink, but it's highly drinkable.
Crazy Frog is another drink that ladies will love is the flirty and fun Crazy Frog. The Crazy Frog, like the mojito is great to bring to a party. It is also great for any season.
These girly drinks are very popular, but some men won't mix alcohol with sweet beverages, despite their popularity. They're looking for something different to sip in their glass.
