Women used to depend on sweet drinks to make their evenings extra special. While they could drink gin or wine, they were not allowed to consume strong liquors. Those drinks were often not considered ladylike. To solve this problem, bartenders created "girly” drinks that were not too sweet but still had alcohol.
Singapore sling (or Singapore sling) is an example of such a cocktail. This was invented by a Raffles Hotel bartender in Singapore in early 20th Century. The sling is a mixture of gin and lime along with herbal liqueurs. This is a great drink to enjoy for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan was in fact invented by a New York Bartender. The name "cosmo" was believed to have been a feminine name for a Cosmopolitan. The drink started as a martini but was popularized by the television series Sex and the City.
The appletini is another girly drink. It is a mix of vodka and brandy apple juice. It is also known as a "mirror", which is a reference to the screwdriver that was invented during the same time period.
You can also make the No Sleep Till cocktail with Aperol, Aperol and some lemon juice. This is a wonderful cocktail to serve at a ladies night. An evening of laughter, conversation, and a glass of wine is more than just a classic cocktail.
Another classic drink is the Gin and Tonic, which is made with tonic water and gin. Gin and tonic can be refreshing but it can be quite strong. It is usually served with an ice cube but you can also enjoy it with a slice or lime.
A popular drink among women is the Mint Julep. It's made with 2 sugar cubes and fresh mint leaves. This is a great drink to have at a southern movie night or party.
The fuzzy nave cocktail was, however, a sweet and cloying drink. It used to be made with orange juice and peach syrups. However, it is now made with fresh lemon and orange juice. The cocktail was first created in the early 20th-century, but it was only popular with the upper-class. The Raffles Hotel had a glamorous clientele and the cocktail was a huge success.
More bartenders are updating their cocktail flavor profiles to bring out the feminine side of classic cocktails. The Cosmopolitan is an example of a drink that has been de-feminized to appeal more men. It is still a sweet drink, but it's highly drinkable.
Another drink for ladies is the Crazy Frog, which is a fun and flirty cocktail. The Crazy Frog, like the mojito is great to bring to a party. It is also great for any season.
Some men don't mix sweet and alcohol, despite the popularity of these girly drinks. They're always looking for something else to pour into their glasses.
