Top 5 Cocktails To Order On a First Dinner Date

There’s nothing more nerve-wracking than a first date and trying to make a good impression while keeping your cool. Trying to be the best version of yourself, while evaluating whether you and your date are compatible in the long run!

There’s no better venue for a first meet up than a nice restaurant to help calm the nerves. Choose somewhere buzzy and vibrant, and be sure to have some cocktail knowledge up your sleeve to impress. There’s nothing worse than pouring hours over a menu only to say ‘I’ll have the same as you’!

To help with your cocktail game plan, here are a few choices of drinks that will make you look effortlessly knowledgeable, and impress that special someone.

1. Martini

A martini is one of the best upscale drinks, especially when you want to impress. An American invention, popularized by James Bond. You don’t need to have it shaken, not stirred. There are many different ways to order your martini based on your preference, such as a dirty martini made with a splash of olive juice and garnished with an olive. However you prefer it, a martini is always a classy and impressive choice.

2. Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned dates back to the late 1800s. A typical Old Fashioned is made with a sugar lump, water, an ice cube, bitters, whiskey and garnished with either a lemon-peel or maraschino cherries. Knowing your preferred whiskey only makes ordering this cocktail even sexier.

3.  Manhattan

This is a cocktail drink that combines sweet vermouth, rye whiskey, and bitters. Although rye is the original whiskey choice, others that are equally good include Tennessee whiskey, bourbon, Canadian whiskey, and blended whiskey.

4. Bellini

The Bellini is an elegant, timeless cocktail made with peach puree and Prosecco, originating in the mid-1900s in Venice in Italy at Harry’s Bar. The recipes call for peach purée and Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine. It was originally prepared with white peach puree, but you can also use yellow peaches, peach nectar, and/or peach schnapps.

5. Wine

You cannot go wrong with a glass of wine, never!!! Besides, there are several varieties of wine to choose from. It helps if you are a wine connoisseur who understands the difference between the various types of wine and the appropriate food choices to pair alongside. While the many varieties of wine could leave you spoilt for choice, don’t be afraid to ask a wine connoisseur for recommendations.
