This image shows a Daiquiri cocktail. The basic Daiquiri is a model of simplicity and balance. Variations date to at least the late 1880s, but it was during the early 1900s in Havana that the drink became the icon of white rum, lime juice and sugar we know today. (Callum Duffy via AP) (AP)

This image shows a Poker Cocktail. The Poker Cocktail is rum’s answer to the Manhattan, just substitute 2 ounces white rum for the rye, increase the sweet vermouth to 1 ounce and replace the cherry with ¼ ounce agave or simple syrup. (Callum Duffy via AP) (AP)

This image shows an Old Fashioned cocktail. The Old Fashioned began life at least 150 years ago as little more than whiskey with a sugar cube and cocktail bitters, sometimes a splash of water. This is the drink for people who like whiskey and like it strong. (Callum Duffy via AP) (AP)

This image shows a Manhattan cocktail. There are numerous origin stories for the Manhattan, but all of them place its birth in the late 1800s and in the New York City borough for which it is named. From the start, it has been a simple mix of rye, sweet vermouth and bitters. Somewhere along the line, the maraschino cherry became a must-have, taking the place of the simple syrup sometimes added.
