What cocktail should I order when I want to impress someone?
On a semi-casual business meet up at a bar, what should I order? My typical go to bar drink with friends is a tequila shot, which does not seem to really fit the occasion. What can I order that is tasty, and sophisticated?

A good cocktail to order that has a certain elegance is a Manhattan. Whiskey, vermouth, bitters and a cherry. It’s the late meeting or suitable on a business trip. It’s the dress suit. A business dinner or meeting is whiskey on the rocks with a splash of soda, or scotch neat. That’s the business suit, clean and straightforward, no nonsense. A vodka tonic or gin martini is a straight kind of business drink, kind of like a grey suit. Tequila isn’t quite the business drink, that’s the after work party, casual Friday dress.
