Cocktails for a breakup
Cocktail Colin says:
If you want cocktails for a breakup, go for something that matches the mood: bright and bracing when you want a reset, or rich and spirit forward when you want a proper wallow.
For a name that fits the moment, Broken Heart is the obvious pick. It mixes vodka, red vermouth, lemon juice and Champagne or prosecco, so you get a bittersweet edge with a bubbly lift. If you would rather lean into the theme but keep it fruitier, Break it in easy brings whiskey, lemon and crème de cassis together for a softer, dark berry twist.
If your idea of a farewell drink is something crisp and energising, the highest rated option here is the Whisky Sour, a classic style balance of bourbon, lemon and sweetness with egg white for a smoother texture. For something equally refreshing but more herbaceous, Whisky Smash adds mint for an easy, steady sipper.
If you want something bigger and bolder, Heartbreak Bacardi is a mint and lime highball with both vodka and white rum, while The Destroyer is the most no nonsense, late night choice of the lot.
