Drinks That Bartenders Drink

When you’re at a bar, do you have a go-to drink? Do you always start with a beer or go straight to a shot? Maybe you’re a cocktail-lover — do you always gravitate to a reliable favorite or are you always looking for something new? Finding your match in a drink is important. A go-to drink is a trusty companion, an easy conversation starter, a comforting refreshment and a cue to unwind. If choosing a favorite drink is lost on you, fear not — just look to the experts. We’ve rounded up 17 go-to drinks from some awesome bartenders, so that you can take a professional’s lead. Because who would know better what to order at a bar than a bartender?

When these bartenders aren’t behind their own bars, they’re drinking lots of daiquiris and martinis. They’ll also reach for an Old Fashioned, a Sidecar or a Michelada.
