Drink Along With Don Draper and Make This Easy Mad Men-Inspired Cocktail!

His account history of airlines, cars, cigarettes, and beauty products speak for themselves—Don Draper has a creative mind. But while he jazzes things up when it comes to ad sales, taking risks with unexpected pitches, the Mad Men character tends to keep his cocktail preferences classically cool. The Madison Ave. legend's taste for flavorful libations as yet to run dry, and we have a feeling that he won't ditch his go-to drinks, like the Manhattan, in Season 7 either.

Because a Mad Men viewing party wouldn't be the same without an ode to Don and his crew, it's essential for you to give your guests the option of a decadent drink that the entire agency would approve of.
