The Drinks of Mad Men


Mad Men and the boys of Sterling Cooper sure brought the cool back to the cocktail. Sometimes I wish I lived in the 1960s when your day started with a stiff screwdriver, followed by a three-martini lunch, and closed with an Old Fashioned—or six.

Tom Collins: Betty’s Poison

1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1 ounce sugar
1-1/2 ounces of gin
Lemon slices

Mix sugar, juice, and gin over ice in mixing glass. Stir, strain over cocktail glass, with ice and top it off with club soda. Garnish with lemon.
