What’s the best simple cocktail for people to make at home, and what’s the recipe?
I think I’ve seen a few others say Daiquiri, & I couldn’t agree more. But I’d also mention the Bijou, mostly because of the drinks understated elegance, but also because of the ease of use. Equal parts Gin (try Martin Miller’s Westbourne, but Plymouth works great), Green Chartreuse & Carpano Antica (you can experiment with other sweet vermouths, but you won’t be smiling nearly as much). Add a dash of orange bitters, stir & strain w/orange peel on top. It’s a perfect cocktail to pre-batch for a large party, & it won’t go bad on you.
