Whether you're a seasoned cocktail connoisseur or a curious newcomer, there's a world of cool girl drinks waiting to be discovered. Let's dive into some must-try beverages that are as stylish as they are delicious.

Classic Cocktails with a Twist

Every bar worth its salt serves classic cocktails, but why not elevate your drinking experience with a modern twist? Here are a couple of timeless drinks with a cool girl makeover:

• Espresso Martini

  This sleek and sophisticated cocktail combines the richness of espresso with the smoothness of vodka. It's the perfect pick-me-up for an evening out, and its glossy black appearance is as captivating as its taste.

To make it, shake together 2 oz vodka, 1 oz freshly brewed espresso, 1 oz coffee liqueur, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with three coffee beans.

Muddle 10-12 jalapeño slices in a cocktail shaker. Add 2 oz tequila, 1 oz lime juice, 0.5 oz agave nectar, and a pinch of salt. Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a jalapeño slice and a lime wheel.

Sustainable Sipping: Eco-Friendly Cocktails

Being eco-conscious doesn't mean you have to miss out on the fun. These cool girl drinks are not only delicious but also kind to the environment:

• Beetroot Negroni

  This vibrant twist on the classic Negroni uses beetroot-infused gin for a stunning color and a hint of earthy sweetness.

To make beetroot-infused gin, slice a large beetroot and steep in 500ml of gin for 24 hours. Strain and discard the beetroot. To make the cocktail, combine 1 oz beetroot-infused gin, 1 oz sweet vermouth, and 1 oz Campari in a mixing glass. Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange twist.

Opt for organic Aperol and prosecco, and serve the drink in a reusable glass. To make it, combine 3 oz prosecco, 2 oz Aperol, and a splash of soda water in a wine glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange slice.

Low-Alcohol and Non-Alcoholic Cool Girl Drinks

You don't need a high ABV to make a statement. These low-alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are just as cool:

• Sparkling Rosé Spritz

  This elegant drink is perfect for those who want to enjoy the evening without the heavy hit of alcohol.

Combine 3 oz sparkling rosé, 1 oz elderflower liqueur, and a splash of soda water in a wine glass filled with ice. Garnish with a raspberry and a lemon twist.

Muddle a handful of fresh herbs (such as mint, basil, and thyme) in a highball glass. Add ice and top with tonic water. Garnish with a lemon wheel and a sprig of the muddled herbs.
