Cocktails from the Pandemic by Patrick (Paddy) Moore
These are among the original, early 19th century-style cocktails, listed in vintage bar guides as simply “Whiskey Cocktail” or “Improved Gin Cocktail” and the like. These drinks are composed of a base spirit lightly adorned with sugar (in some cases, the sweetener appears in the form of a dash or two of liqueur such as maraschino or curacao), bitters, and water (usually in its frozen form), and served either straight up or on the rocks.
Enduring examples include the Old Fashioned and the Sazerac. These are simple and strong, and when properly executed they’re exceptionally tasty. Category from Paul Clarke, Serious Eats.

It’s just a common Margarita – only with the very best ingredients, and a little special on-top.
It’s a Rabbie Burns to honour the poet’s birthday.
Pairs well with haggis!
The Old Fashioned is THE primordial drink.
This cocktail is a, sweet/smoky/strong drink with exotic overtones, much like the town of Oaxaca.
