I'd like an after-work, classic whiskey cocktail.

Cocktail Colin says:

I have found some classic whiskey cocktails that would be perfect for unwinding after work. The highest-rated options include a Manhattan variation, a Whiskey Sour, and an Old Fashioned. Each of these cocktails offers a blend of whiskey with complementary ingredients, all cold and alcoholic for a refreshing post-work drink.
