AN ADAPTABLE COSMOPOLITAN COCKTAIL
In case you couldn't help but wonder, this more refined Cosmopolitan is not a robust red but a dusty pink, deeply chilled, and walks the line between sweet and sour. You can even shed the notion that it must be served in a martini glass, and serve it in a coupe or smaller cocktail glass instead. Whatever your vessel, tuck it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to properly chill before pouring.

Steps:
- Set coupe glass or other cocktail glass in the freezer to chill for 10 minutes.

- Strain cocktail into chilled glass. Garnish with lime wedge or lemon twist, if desired.
OLD FASHIONED COCKTAIL
The earliest version of this cocktail was simply water, sugar, bitters, and booze. Over time, the water became ice, the booze became whiskey, and the drink became an old fashioned.

AN ADAPTABLE OLD-FASHIONED COCKTAIL
The old-fashioned is infinitely forgiving. Originally named "whiskey cocktail," it's a stirred, spirit-forward drink classically based on bourbon or rye. But out of want or necessity, you can venture outside tradition. This version uses 2-to-1 "rich" simple syrup, which is sweeter and thicker than the standard 1-to-1 ratio of sugar and water, but allows you to use less without sacrificing texture. This cocktail offers many a substitution; the only nonnegotiable is to use a spirit you like, as it serves as leading lady in this cocktail hour.

Steps:
- Prepare the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar with 1/4 cup water. Heat over low, stirring frequently, just until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate if not using immediately. (Remaining syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.)
- Prepare the cocktail: In an ice-filled mixing glass, combine the whiskey, prepared syrup and bitters. Stir until well chilled, about 15 seconds. (If using a sugar cube, muddle it with a dash of water and the 3 to 4 dashes bitters before stirring it with the whiskey over ice.) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into an ice-filled rocks glass and finish with the citrus twist.

Savour good whiskey in a classic spicy, sweet and aromatic old fashioned - or try one of three neat twists. Gentle stirring is important so the drink doesn't dilute too quickly

Steps:
- Add half the whiskey and 2 ice cubes to a rocks glass. Stir. Add the sugar syrup, Angostura bitters and 2 more ice cubes. Stir. Add the rest of the whiskey and 2 more ice cubes. Stir.
- Add 2 more ice cubes, then pinch the citrus zest so the aromatic oils spray over the drink, then drop it into the glass. 3 TWISTSRum old fashionedThe silky-sweet rums of Latin America are particularly good for this - try the amber-coloured Ron Zacapa from Venezuela. Instead of Angostura bitters, try using Angostura orange bitters, and garnish with an orange twist. Tequila old fashionedAnejo tequila has lots of vanilla and caramel notes that work very nicely in an old fashioned. For the sweetener, use agave syrup instead of sugar syrup, although agave syrup tends to be sweeter, so you may need slightly less. Garnish with a lemon twist. Smoky old fashionedTo add a hint of smoke, infuse your sugar syrup. Simply make a 2:1 sugar syrup and while it's still warm, put a Lapsang Souchong teabag in the syrup and leave to infuse for half-an-hour. Then make your old fashioned as normal.

COLD-FASHIONED
This simple riff on the old-fashioned has become a popular way to serve Mr. Black cold brew liqueur in many bars across America. Tom Baker, the founder of Mr. Black, prefers a simple recipe calling for equal parts rye whiskey and Mr. Black, with no sugar or bitters required. But each bar has its own take. This formula, which comes from Peppi's Cellar, a bar in the NoLIta section of Manhattan, opts for Irish whiskey and a few dashes of orange bitters. The Irish whiskey lends a gentle touch to the drink, softening the kick of the coffee. But, really, with this drink, it's all about what sort of whiskey you like (bourbon also works), and how much you like that cold brew flavor, so adjust the proportions and ingredients to your taste.

- In a lowball glass, pour in the bourbon, 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup and a couple dashes of bitters. Stir to combine.
- Add a large ice cube or several small, and gently stir in a circular motion until the drink is very cold, about 20 seconds. Taste, and stir in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove a hefty strip of orange peel. Gently twist it, skin side down, over the drink to release the oils. Then place the orange peel in the glass. Enjoy.
5 FOODS TO PAIR WITH AN OLD FASHIONED COCKTAIL
From southernliving.com
- Spiced Pecans. This native nut of the South brings out the more complex notes of the bourbon while the spicy and sweet seasoning accentuate the citrus and cherry's true tastes.
- Thick-Cut Pork Chops. For a main entree that helps transition an Old Fashioned from h'orderves to the dinner table, a thick-cut rib chop with a drizzle of syrupy balsamic provides a savory and tangy background that tames a cocktail's sugar quotient.
- Duck. The same way this bird is famously known as a mate to orange, it also pairs perfectly with an Old Fashioned, which softens the gameyness of the duck, while the cherry and citrus bring out its unctuous sweetness.
- Chocolate Chess Pie. Many bourbons have secret chocolate hues waiting to be unlocked by just the right pairing. A slice of Southern-style chocolate chess pie does just that without the same heaviness of cake.
- Bacon-Wrapped Figs. For a fancy yet fuss-free appetizer, we love bacon-wrapped figs, especially with goat cheese stuffed in the center. An old fashioned plays well with the smoky bacon, complex sweetness of the figs, and the tangy-tart cheese.
