If “Netflix and chill” isn’t your thing, then maybe “Netflix and give me alcohol” is. I mean, is there anything better than canceling plans, putting on sweats, eating carbs and mixing up amazing cocktails? There isn’t.
We have rounded up five amazing cocktails for your single or not so single evening.
Watching reruns of OITNB? sip on a screwdriver. Pour one-part vodka and two parts orange juice over ice.
First rim the glass with sugar and cinnamon. Pour 1/2 ounce of maraschino jerry juice in the glass. Mix 1 1/2 ounces Irish cream liqueur, 1-ounce spiced rum and 2 ounces damn fine coffee and shake over ice
Every southern politician needs to unwind with a little bourbon. A Southern Mint Peach Julep is deceptively sweet, but it has a bite. Mix 1½-ounce bourbon whiskey, 1½-ounces peach liqueur, and ½-ounce sugar syrup. Garnish with 4-5 fresh mint sprigs.
Sip on a Manhattan while you (vicariously) fight crime in Hell’s Kitchen. Mix 2 ounces rye and bourbon whiskey (or Fireball for some spice), ½-ounce sweet vermouth, ½-ounce dry vermouth, 2 dashes Angostura or orange bitters, and Maraschino cherry to garnish.
Red wine is perfect on its own, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a little kick. To make a Mamarita, mix 1½-ounces of tequila, 1-ounce triple sec, ½-ounce cabernet sauvignon, lime juice, 1-ounce agave nectar and garnish with lime peel.
