I've been reading a drink about the history of the cocktail and it's got me wanting to try and wider my rather narrow cocktail repertoire.

Tried my first ever vodka martini on holiday this year. Not for me lol. 🤢
 
Pina Colada is the best when it is done right but it's often not. Same with Mojito. It's simple but getting the mint and sugar right seems to be very hit and miss.

I like an Old Fashioned, an Espresso Martini or a Whisky Sour as well.

One of my biggest gripes with ordering cocktails is I'm often disappointed that they are poorly made and they cost a fortune.
 
I love a Negroni when out and that would be my choice at home too, where I’ve tried a few variations - substituting the gin for tequila works surprisingly well.
