MEZCAL NEGRONI
Americans have been ordering classic cocktails with mezcal instead of the typical spirits. One of the most popular is the mezcal Negroni, in which the gin is replaced with the smoky agave spirit. The switch works well because mezcal is as assertive in its flavors as gin is, and can stand up to flavorful tough customers like sweet vermouth and Campari. A number of different mezcals work well in this mix; Del Maguey's Vida brand is a good place to start in your experimenting.

Steps:
- Combine liquid ingredients in a mixing glass three-quarters filled with ice. Stir until chilled, about 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

JIMBO AND GINGA
The lowly Mexican bulldog (a frozen margarita with an upturned bottle of beer in it) was the inspiration for this quirky variation on a whiskey and ginger highball. As with many of the bulldog variations created by Eben Freeman at Genuine Liquorette, a bar in Little Italy, the booze comes from a 50-milliliter mini-bottle and the mixer from the short can the bottle is emptied into. Don't expect a lot of finesse from this drink; it is a highball, after all. But expect a little more fun than usual. If you can't find a mini of Jim Beam, another light whiskey like Jameson will do.

Steps:
- Open the can of ginger ale and use a citrus reamer to widen the hole. Pour out 1 ounce of the soda, then pour in the fresh lemon juice and a dash of Angostura bitters.
- Place a straw in the can, then quickly invert the mini-bottle of bourbon into the hole in the can. Garnish top of can with the lemon wedge.
BITTER COFFEE
Maksym Pazuniak, who has tended bar at Cure in New Orleans and The Counting Room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is a devotee of challenging tastes. Bitter Coffee, a hot, creamy concoction suited to the winter holidays, takes as its base Cynar, the bittersweet Italian liqueur that incorporates flavors of artichoke and rhubarb, among others. A few minutes of easy whisking over a stove yields a full-flavored mugful in which the maple-vanilla roundness of the drink are snapped to attention by the edgy amaro and steaming coffee.

Steps:
- Fill a small saucepan halfway with water. Over medium heat, bring to a gentle boil.
- In a heat-safe bowl about the same diameter as the saucepan, whisk together the Cynar, rum, maple syrup, egg yolk and vanilla. Place bowl on top of the saucepan, as water continues boiling, and whisk mixture for about another 2 to 3 minutes, just long enough to warm it and thicken it slightly.
- Pour mixture into an Irish coffee mug and top with the coffee while stirring. Grate whole nutmeg or sprinkle ground nutmeg over top.

HUMMER
This popular Michigan drink, which is thick and creamy and tastes like coffee ice cream, is credited to bartender Jerome Adams, who invented it one night in 1968 at the Bayview Yacht Club in Detroit. The drink caught on with the local sailing set and over time spread inland. Mr. Adams, who died in 2018, went on to bartend at the club for more than 50 years, making countless hummers along the way. Brian Bartels, the author of "The United States of Cocktails," has modified the recipe ever so slightly, topping his hummer with a cherry.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until the ice is broken down. Serve in a chilled rocks glass, and garnish with a cherry if you like.
MANHATTAN
There are some who adhere to dry-martini dogma when making a manhattan, thinking the drink improves with less vermouth. But the classic, best and most flavorful ratio for this drink remains two to one. Whether you use bourbon or rye is entirely a matter of taste. Bourbon will get you a slightly sweeter, more mellow drink; rye a drier, spicier one. Both versions can be excellent. Use homemade cocktail cherries if possible, or a quality brand like Luxardo. Eschew the common neon-red orbs found in supermarkets. They are cherries the way that stuff movies theaters put on popcorn is butter.

CLASSIC NEGRONI
Nostrana, an Italian restaurant in Portland, Ore., has offered a Negroni of the Month since 2010, all original creations, some of them quite odd (squid ink Negroni, anyone?). But the house Negroni follows classic lines, using equal parts gin, vermouth and Campari.
