I have found a few classic cocktail options based on their popularity and traditional ingredients. Here are a few examples for classic cocktails:

  1. A cocktail with Vodka, Olive Juice, and White Vermouth.
  2. A cocktail with Gin and White Vermouth.
  3. A cocktail with Orange Bitters, Red Vermouth, Dry Gin, and Maraschino Cherry Liqueur.
  4. A cocktail with Vodka and White Vermouth.
  5. A cocktail with Sugar, Angostura Bitters, and Bourbon.
