Lava Flow is a Hawaiian cocktail with numerous variations. It can be blended or shaken. The blended version is typically made with a combination of coconut rum, light rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, bananas, and frozen strawberries.

In order to prepare it, rums and strawberries are blended separately from other ingredients, but they are later combined in a collins or hurricane glass so that the strawberries swirl in the drink, creating an effect similar to that of lava flow. If shaken, strawberries and a slice of banana should be muddled in the bottom of a glass, then combined with ice and shaken coconut cream, pineapple juice, and rum.

The cocktail is then garnished with a pineapple wedge and a paper parasol, if desired.

Ramos Gin Fizz is an American cocktail made with a combination of gin, sugar syrup, lime juice, lemon juice, cream, egg whites, orange flower water, vanilla extract, and soda water. All ingredients except soda are poured in a mixing glass and dry shaken without ice for 2 minutes.

Ice is then added to the combination, and the cocktail is hard shaken for an additional minute. The cocktail should be strained into a highball glass without ice, then topped with soda. Due to the fact that vigorous shaking is required to reach the right texture, Ramos Gin Fizz is loathed by many bartenders. 

Frozen daiquiri is a variation of a classic shaken daiquiri, which typically incorporates rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. This frozen version is mostly blended and usually includes pulverized ice and frozen fruit to mix, creating a sweet slurry with a texture similar to a slushie.

Frozen daiquiris probably first appeared at the legendary El Floridita in Havana, sometime around the time of Prohibition. They were initially made with crushed ice and electric blenders, but their popularity skyrocketed in the second half of the 20th century after the invention of commercial machines. 

A classic cocktail that was created in New York City in the 1940s, Moscow Mule consists of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Because it contains ginger beer, Moscow Mule is a type of buck (a mixed drink with ginger beer or ale, spirit, and citrus), so it is often referred to as Vodka Buck.

The cocktail is traditionally served in a copper mug, on the rocks, with a lime wheel garnish. Vodka is typically associated with Russia, while mule was supposedly added to the name because ginger beer adds a kick of flavor, hence the name Moscow Mule.

Known as the specialty drink of New Orleans, where it was invented in 1887 as the first beverage in the fizz family, Gin Fizz is a cocktail made with gin, Gomme syrup or sugar, lemon juice, and soda water. The cocktail is prepared by shaking gin, lemon juice, and sweet syrup with ice.

When strained in a glass, it is topped with sparkling water which provides it with a bubbly effect, hence the fizz in its name. The drink is very similar to Tom Collins, a cocktail that is traditionally made with a slightly sweeter gin called Old Tom. 

Red eye is an American coffee variety that combines brewed coffee with an espresso shot. Although this coffee variety is found elsewhere, the name is of American origin—it is a reference to severe exhaustion that can sometimes cause bloodshot eyes.

This coffee combination is stronger than regular coffee, and it is supposed to be a more potent stimulant that keeps you awake and improves concentration. Red eye coffee appears in several variations and under various names.

New England cider is a cider style known for its acidity and high alcohol content. It is usually made from traditional New England apples, and it is distinguished for the use of additional ingredients, such as sugar, molasses, honey, or raisins, which are mainly used to increase alcohol content and impart flavor.

New England Cider is usually full-bodied and dry, with a strong flavor and aroma. The color can range from yellow to amber, and it can be sparkling or still. The acidity is usually high, and the alcohol content falls between 7 and 13%. It is often barrel-aged, adding flavor elements such as oak, spice, or caramel. 

Mai Tai is a popular rum-based cocktail originating from Oakland in 1944. Its name means good in Tahitian. In addition to rum, which can be both spiced and coconut flavored, the cocktail contains lime juice, orgeat syrup, and orange liqueur, typically curaçao, but in some versions it can include grapefruit juice, bitters, or grenadine.

All ingredients should be vigorously shaken with ice for a few minutes before the cocktail is strained into an old-fashioned glass. Before serving, Mai Tai is traditionally garnished with fruits such as pineapple, orange, and cherries. It became a trendy cocktail in the 1950s, when Elvis Presley promoted it in his movie, and since then it is heavily associated with Tiki culture and Polynesian-style settings.

Whiskey Sour is an American cocktail that originated sometime in the 1870s. This cocktail classic is composed of whiskey or bourbon, sugar or Gomme syrup, lemon juice, and optionally an egg white. It is believed that the original version did not include an egg white, but it was added later to give the drink a smoother texture.

Modern recipes often leave it out or list it as an optional ingredient. If an egg white is added to the mix, the drink is often referred to as Boston Sour, and if red wine is included in the cocktail, it is then called New York Sour. In some versions, sugar syrup can be replaced with grenadine syrup, while other versions add both lemon juice and orange juice.
