There are plenty of classic cocktails that are gone but not forgotten. Everyone is serving versions of the Old Fashion and the Manhattan, but what about the others that were favorites back in the day? I decided to play around and bring some of those \u201cold school\u201d drinks back to life.<\/p>\n
Loved by the college crowds in the 80s served as a shaken shot but was made famous by Brett Favre.<\/p>\n

\nMix all ingredients in a shaker tin filled with ice and strain into a shot glass.<\/p>\n

A fun, simple vodka cocktail created in the 50s but gained popularity during the disco era of the 70s.<\/p>\n
2 oz vodka
\n4 oz orange juice
\n.5 oz Galliano
\nMix the vodka and orange juice in a rocks glass filled with ice; stir and float with Galliano.<\/p>\n

\n.5 oz grenadine
\n2 oz lime juice
\n2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
\nSplash of club soda

While recreating these classic cocktails, I was able to reminisce about the first time I enjoyed each of them. I hope you enjoy bringing these drinks back to life with your own special twists.<\/p>\n
