What’s a unique drink you’ve had at a bar (and know the recipe) that I absolutely need to try making at home?
Hello all! So I am by no means an expert on the subject and barely even have a working knowledge of drinkmaking to begin with. My sister is asking for help at her party and has put me in charge of the drinks. For cocktails I want to keep it super simple, maybe 5—8 options, but have enough options to cover everyone's tastes.
Another factor is that we live in Portugal where a lot of liquors and amari and things I see on this subreddit are simply not available, so looking to keep it simple(ish). I did just pick up a bottle of Luxardo Maraschino and Green Chartreuse, we have TONS of lemons, (sweet) vermouth isn't a problem to get, and I can snag some bitters if need be. The whisky selection is dire, but the standard selection of gin is available.
I was thinking 1. Negroni because they are easy, good, and popular. 2. Bees Knees or White Lady cuz of the lemon thing. 3. Last Word since I have the stuff for it, and as a more herbal option. I was thinking something with whisky but since the options aren't the best, how should I go about it? What should I add to round it out?
Thanks in advance!!
