The weather is warming up so it is time to think of refreshing cocktail recipes. It can be hard to recover from winter pandemics. For a simple yet sophisticated drink, try a classic cocktail, or opt for a glass of Chianti. A classic drink never goes out-of-fashion.
Aperol Spritz
The Aperol Spritz is a traditional Italian cocktail that has become a favorite in spring and summer. Aperol, which is a bitter herbal cocktail, is mixed with soda water. It's served with crushed ice, garnished by an orange slice and green Venetian olive.
Caipiroska
Caipiroska cocktails can be refreshing and quite different to the traditional caipirinha. Although similar to the traditional drink, caipiroska is made with vodka, lime, and sugar instead of sugar water. Caipiroska is much more flavorful and richer than its sour cousin.
Gin Shasta
For spring evenings, a gin-and-tonic cocktail is the ideal drink. The floral notes found in gin work well with the smell of fresh flowers. Bittersweet tonic has a stimulating effect and cuts through the richness in savory appetizers.
Modern Mai Tai
Mai Tai is a classic drink that has been made famous by the tiki movement. It was even the official drink of President Richard Nixon's presidency! Tiki-themed restaurants featuring jumbo-sized Caribbean sours and Polynesian ttems became very popular in the middle of the 20th century. However, the drink's popularity has declined over the years. Today, the Mai Tai has seen a revival. But it is in an awkward place in today's cocktail culture. Some people feel that the Mai Tai has been degraded.

How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
