Method
Classic Margarita
Prepare the glass
Rim the edge of a chilled cocktail glass with salt by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim and then dipping it into a plate of salt.
Mix the drink
In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
Mojito
Muddle mint and sugar
In a glass, add the fresh mint leaves and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a straw.
Old Fashioned
Muddle sugar and bitters
In an old-fashioned glass, place the sugar cube and add the Angostura bitters. Muddle together until the sugar is dissolved.
Add whiskey and ice
Add the bourbon or rye whiskey to the glass and fill it with ice cubes.
Garnish
Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass as a garnish.
Serve
Stir gently and serve immediately.
