Usually served as an apéritif, this cocktail is made of one part gin, one part campari, and one part Vermouth stir, built over ice. Garnish with a slice of orange for that extra flavor. This drink is not for the weak! It’s extremely strong with slight citrusy flavors and bitter notes. Check this out if you want to try it.

Try this cocktail for your perfect golden hour drink - when it’s too late for lemonade and too early for whisky. Bright orange that reminds you of sunset in color with a combination of sweet liqueur and Prosecco, this drink will give you a good buzz with a bittersweet aftertaste! To make this drink, all you need to do is fill in a tall balloon or wine glass with cubed eyes, equal parts of Prosecco and Aperol, and then add a splash of soda and finish it off by garnishing with a slice of orange.

4. Plantation's Dark ‘n’ Stormy

This drink came from the Caribbean waters, where sailors always had plenty of rum. Fill your highball with ice and add ¾ of ginger beer and some lime juice. Top slowly with rum. Make sure the rum is floating like a dark storm on top of your cocktail. Garnish with a lime wedge and stir! Try it here. 

5. Martini Cocktail

Over the years, martini has been one of the world’s best-known cocktails. This classic is made with only two ingredients. Pour in 1 part dry vermouth and 1 part gin, stir all together into a mixing glass filled with ice cubes and garnish with some olive. Here’s our recipe and bundle if you’d like to try.
