My favorite cocktail of all time is also one of the simplest. At its core, an Old Fashioned is just whiskey (bourbon works, but I like it with rye) with a little sweetener and a few dashes of Angostura bitters. Making a big-batch version for a party is super easy—rather than stirring each drink, you'll add a little water to the bottle to dilute the...
Inspired by ballpark peanuts, this fancy Old Fashioned is made with peanut-infused rye and just a touch of salt. Don't be intimidated by the infusion—it only takes about 24 hours. Packaging the cocktail in soda bottles (as opposed to just making it in a pitcher) doesn't really change the flavor, but you'll look pretty cool showing up to a party wit...
If you like spirituous drinks, but you want something a little softer than an Old Fashioned, a classic Manhattan will do the trick. Rye's spice is amplified with Angostura bitters, and high-quality sweet vermouth adds juicy berry notes. Note: If your bottle of vermouth is more than a month old, toss it and start fresh.

This Manhattan variation keeps the 2:1 ratio of rye and vermouth, but swaps sweet vermouth for dry and compensates with a little maraschino liqueur and Amer Picon, a French aperitif. Can't find the Picon? Try a sweeter-style Italian amaro, like Ramazzotti, or just shake in some extra bitters. Get the recipe for The Brooklyn Cocktail »
The Negroni, made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, is very popular these days. I get the appeal, but to be honest, it's a little much for me. I prefer the Boulevardier, which replaces the gin with spicy rye—a single substitution that makes a huge difference, giving the drink a rich complexity. Get the recipe for the Boulevardier »
The Vieux Carré, named after the French Quarter, is one of the signature drinks of New Orleans. It's a strong cocktail, based on equal parts rye, cognac, and sweet vermouth. The drink is spiced with Angostura and Peychaud's Bitters, and smoothed out with herbal, honeyed Bénédictine. Get the recipe for the Vieux Carré »
You can't talk New Orleans cocktails without mentioning the Sazerac, a boozy drink that's heavy on the rye, with a few dashes of Peychaud's Bitters. The most important part: a rinse of Herbsaint, an anise liqueur, or a similarly flavored option like Pernod or absinthe. Get the recipe for the Sazerac »
We love rye for its bite, but sometimes you want to soften it up a bit. This cocktail starts with rye, then gets depth from Carpano Antica and sweetness from a homemade pear syrup. Just a barspoon of Fernet Branca gives the drink an herbal note that plays well with the sweet-spicy flavors. Get the recipe for the Dreams Never End »
Speaking of Fernet: You may have heard that bartenders will drink it by the shot, which became something of a fad a while back, perhaps as a way of proving how tough they were or to scare away outsiders. Fernet is intense stuff, bitter and herbal, cardamom-y and minty. If you're not ready to down an ounce straight up, try balancing it out with rye ...
If the Toronto is still too strong for you, this variation is a good place to start. Cynar (pronounced chee-NAHR) is a bittersweet and vegetal Italian digestivo. Its bracing flavor makes it a good substitute for Fernet, but it's a bit less aggressive, and delicious with a little whiskey. Get the recipe for the Cynar Toronto »

- Sazerac. As a close cousin to the Old Fashioned, New Orleans’ Sazerac has been around since the late 1800s, although it didn’t receive the title of the official cocktail of the Big Easy until 2008.
- Manhattan. This classic rose to worldwide fame shortly after it was introduced at NYC’s Manhattan Club around 1880 and dipped in and out of popularity for a while until it found solid footing as a classic that’s still beloved today.
- Scofflaw. While the U.S. suffered through Prohibition, Parisians were partying it up with this more fruit-forward take on a rye cocktail. Shake the whiskey with dry vermouth, lemon juice, grenadine, and orange bitters, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Vieux Carré. First introduced at New Orleans’ legendary Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone in the 1930s, this cocktail is a mix of many good things that join forces to create a great cocktail.
