The Bronx
The Bronx is like a steppingstone to drinking a classic, dry martini. The Bronx is one of those drinks that make you feel classy without really trying too hard, especially if you just want to relax with some friends or after an evening of work.

Experience: Orange juice is mixed with 1.5 ounces of gin and half an ounce of sweet and dry vermouth. It is shaken and then can be poured in an Old Fashioned glass or a martini glass. The sweetness of the orange juice plus the tinge of the piney-flavored gin is the perfect mix. Don’t worry, though, the vermouth brings the drink down to earth so it doesn’t feel like you’re drinking fruit juice.

Advice: If you want to impress some of your friends or colleagues, make sure to pour this cocktail in martini glasses. You’ll feel like an adult who actually has her or his life together.
