Raise The Bar

The only things more mysterious than Don Draper are the cocktails he orders.  How do you make a Manhattan? What’s an Old Fashioned? What’s in a Dirty Martini?  We’re pretty sure it’s not Redbull.

If you’re confused about what besides Everclear lives behind your bar, AMC - the network of Mad Men - now features an authentic 60’s Cocktail Guide to help you out. The guide features 13 drink recipes to quickly stir up your night.  The Bloody Mary recipe can get the brunch party going, and the Classic Martini can take the edge off a long day at the office. Or maybe you want to kick back like The Dude with a White Russian. But it gets crazier – do you know what a Moscow Mule is?  Don Draper does.

Bottom line: it’s time to trade in your Jack and Coke and try something new.  Check out the site next week for tips on how to satisfy your secretary in bed. Drink responsibly?
