Traditionally, women have had to rely on sweet drinks to make their evenings special. Women were allowed to have gin, wine or other beverages but not to consume strong, dark liquors. These drinks were often not considered "ladylike". Bartenders created "girly", or sweetened, drinks with alcohol that addressed this problem.
One such cocktail is the Singapore sling, which was created in the early 20th century by a bartender at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. The sling is made with gin, lime and herbal liqueurs. It is a wonderful drink for any occasion.
Cosmopolitan, however, was created by a New York-based bartender. Cosmopolitan, the drink's name, was originally a feminine name. The original recipe was for a martini. But it gained popularity after being made famous by the television program Sex and the City.
Appletini, a mixed drink that combines vodka, brandy or apple juice, is another popular girly drink. It's also considered a "mirror" of the screwdriver, which was invented in the same period.
Another cocktail for ladies is the No Sleep Till. This is made with Aperol, Aperol, and lemon juice. This is a wonderful cocktail to serve at a ladies night. A good evening includes laughter, gossip and a drink.
Gin and Tonic is another classic drink. It is made with tonic water and Gin. Gin and tonic are refreshing drinks, but can be a bit too strong. It is usually served with an ice cube but you can also enjoy it with a slice or lime.
Another cocktail that ladies love is the Mint Julep. This cocktail is made with two sugar cubes and fresh, minty leaves. It is a wonderful drink to enjoy at a southern party, movie night, or any other occasion.
The fuzzy nave cocktail, on the other hand, was a cloyingly sweet drink. It was traditionally made with orange juice and peach schnapps, but is now made with fresh orange and lemon juice. Although the cocktail was popular in the early twentieth century, its popularity was restricted to the upper-class. The clientele at the Raffles Hotel were affluent and glamorous, and the cocktail was a hit.
Bartenders have been updating the flavour profiles of their cocktails in an effort to balance out the feminine characteristics of old drinks. The Cosmopolitan, for instance, has been de-feminized in order to appeal more to men. It's still a sweet, drinkable drink.
Crazy Frog, a flirty and fun cocktail for women, is another option. Crazy Frog can be brought to any party or to a girls' evening out. It's also perfect for any time of year.
Despite their popularity, some men refuse to mix alcohol and sweet drinks despite it being a popular choice. They are looking for something new in their glass.
