Orange and Lemon complement each other so well. With an added Irish whiskey to taste, this classic drink will make your taste buds do an Irish jig after every single sip.

Brandy Carajillo

Alcohol, espresso, and some interesting history? Sounds pretty great! Before coffee was ultra-common, the Carajillo was widely served around Spain, typically assembled tableside by the waiter.

Vodka Martini with Dirty Ice

This classic cocktail may make people hesitant by the name, but dirty ice just means ice with an olive frozen at the centre then placed inside a Vodka Martini. Can’t go wrong with a classic with a twist!
