Classic Cocktails
Author: David Biggs
Unlike trendy drinks that fade away into obscurity, these 33 concoctions have stood the test of time to become today's most popular mixed drinks. Featured cocktails include those based on gin, like the Martini, Singapore Sling, and Tom Collins, while some of the rum-based drinks include the Zombie, Cuba Libre, and various Daiquiris. Still others utilize vodka, such as the Harvey Wallbanger and White Russian, or are brandy-based, including the Stinger and Steeplejack. No matter what their favorite cocktail, there's something classic here for everybody.
