The drink you usually order can say a lot about your personality and individual taste. Whether you’re on a romantic date or trying to relax after a long work week, your signature cocktail should be something special. If you’re trying to find your signature drink, here are a few options to try at the bar that most bartenders know how to make. 

What Classy Signature Cocktails Should You Try?

1. Paloma

The paloma is one of the smoothest tequila drinks you can order. It’s a favorite in Mexico because it’s light, fruity, and full of fizz, making it perfect for hot summer nights. A paloma is made of tequila, a heavy splash of lime juice, and grapefruit soda and served over ice—with or without a salted rim. 

2. Vodka Soda 

The vodka soda is as simple as they come, but the quality of ingredients can make or break the drink. Choose a vodka, mix it with a quality club soda, and serve it over ice. Many people choose to garnish it with a lime, lemon, or orange to add a splash of citrus flavor. 

3. Old-Fashioned

Once the drink of steakhouses and upscale bars, the old-fashioned has become fashionable again these days. That may be in part because it’s a cocktail that lends itself to experimentation by mixologists, substituting different flavor profiles and ingredients. A classic old-fashioned is whiskey, simple syrup, and bitters, served over ice with an orange garnish and maraschino cherries.

4. Gin & Tonic 

Like a vodka soda, a gin & tonic has few ingredients, so the ones you use should be the best quality. A high gin, combined with a good tonic water, can be incredibly herbal and refreshing. While usually garnished with a lime, depending on the type of gin, you may want to try blackberries, raspberries, or even something more herbal like rosemary and lemon.
