Everybody has heard of Mojitos, Caiparinhas, Cosmos and Margaritas. But what about those hidden gems in the bar? The liqours that hide in dark bottles, a little bit of dust on them, that sit back watching the flavored vodkas and tequilas and say to themselves, "there was a time." From a bartender's perspective, these are the ten best drinks that you've never heard of but probably should. Keep in mind, these aren't always trendy - but there is a time for them.

10. Negroni - This is a martini that is all kick. It's equal parts campari, sweet vermouth and gin and garnished with a twist of lemon - which 60 years ago would have been the bees knees when it came to booze.

9. Old Fashioned - This one is making somewhat of a revival and as vodka drinkers turn to bourbons it'll start to see the light even more. It consists of a cherry, orange and a sugar cube being muddled with a dash of bitters, then some bourbon being poured over with a splash of soda for good measure.

8. Singapore Sling - Its ingredients--Gin, lemon juice, pineapple juice, cherry brandy, bitters, and grenadine--read like a love letter to cocktails.

7. Beautiful - This drink is so simple and such an easy one to order on dates that to not do so is almost like a slap on the face. It's equal parts cognac and grandmarnier served in a snifter.

6. Sloe Gin Fizz - Sloe gin is funny because every bar carries it, but no one ever really knows what it is: gin that has been steeped in plums. Next time you ante up to the bar ask for this little hidden treasure of Sloe Gin, Lemon Juice, Ice and Soda. Its a definite step up from that boring old gin and tonic.
