Drinks To Sample: a list in progress

Harvey Wallbanger (orange juice, vodka, galliano)

Manhattan (bourbon or rye, lemon juice, bitters, sweet vermouth, a non-disgusting variant of a maraschino cherry garnish)

Tom Collins (gin, lemon juice, sugar or syrup, soda water)

Old-Fashioned (bourbon or rye, bitters, sugar, soda water, orange slice garnish)

Alabama Slammer (vodka, amaretto, sloe gin, southern comfort, orange juice, holy shit)

Then, there's this super froofy, delicious-sounding Cucumber Lavender Sour made with Hendrick's gin and lavender bitters and all kinds of other things difficult to find. Like sugared vanilla beans. And lavender-infused simple syrup.

Or! An Earl Grey Fizz! (Zubrowka Bison Grass vodka, Earl Grey tea syrup, lemon juice, vodka, champagne, a dash of the good life.)

I would also like to try more drinks with delicious elderflower liqueur. The French 77 (St. Germain, lemon juice, champagne, lemon twist) was super.

And posh. Super and posh. Okay, it was mostly super.

--------------------------------

Note: I tried an Old-Fashioned and a Tom Collins! The OF was delish - the bitters really balanced out the sweetness. Definitely something to order again; I feel like different bartenders will make wildly different versions of the drink. This most recent cocktail had orange slices squeezed into it, and a cherry (meh), and bitters and bourbon and possibly sugar and definitely soda water. Exciting.

The Tom Collins was okay. Basically hard fizzy lemonade with a slight evergreen/gin aftertaste. Nice. Not as exciting as the OF, but nice.
