1. Cosmopolitan
There are some – a very few – cocktails that define a decade. And the Cosmopolitan, a hot pink, pleasantly sharp cocktail served in the iconic martini glass, was the essence of the 1990s. Here's our perfect version.
“Don't have a jigger? No problem. If you really want to be precise when mixing a drink, use a small shot glass (25ml) and some measuring spoons for baking.”

3. Dutch Mule
It couldn't be simpler to combine vodka, lime, ginger and sugar to balance. This cocktail is the perfect sip for warmer seasons - and is perfect after a long day.
Try a similar recipe for The Moscow Mule.
4. Martini
The martini is by ratio vodka to vermouth. I like mine 3 parts vodka to 1 part dry vermouth and a twist of lemon.
