Morning Glory Cocktail
As I mentioned in my hangover helper post on Wednesday, the hair of the dog has long been considered an effective means of treating this kind of self-inflicted wound. Here's an 1887 version of a morning fog cutter, from that year's edition of Jerry Thomas' Bar-Tender's Guide: the Morning Glory Cocktail.
Cocktail à la Louisiane
First documented 70 years ago in Arthur's Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix 'Em, the Cocktail à la Louisiane has been largely ignored since then. It's worth the effort to search out the ingredients (or a talented bartender in a well-stocked establishment) and bring this drink into the 21st century.
Irish Cocktail
This classic drink is similar to the Improved Holland Gin Cocktail, but uses Irish whiskey instead of malty genever.
Manhattan Cocktail
The stiff, smooth union of whiskey and vermouth is a classic of the cocktail canon.
Atty Cocktail
A good gin contains floral elements in its mix of botanical flavors, and the creme de violette nicely calls the floral notes to the fore.
Twelve Mile Limit
Rum, rye, and brandy are a triple threat in this boozy but balanced cocktail.
Improved Gin Cocktail
Genever and Cointreau: odd, but oh-so-compelling.
Clover Club
A bright gin sour with an irresistible pink hue.
Old Fashioned Cocktails (for a Crowd)
Old Fashioned cocktails, made with bourbon or rye, are great for making a big batch in advance of a party, so they're perfect for fall or winter gatherings.
Modern Cocktail No. 2
The Modern Cocktail No. 2 shows how wonderfully blended scotch can work in a cocktail. As written in the Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930, the Modern #2 matches the smooth richness of blended scotch with the sharp tang of sloe gin, with dashes of absinthe, grenadine and bitters lending additional complexity.

Millionaire Cocktail

There are a few cocktails that go by this name, but my favorite is this version with rye (or bourbon), grenadine, pastis, curaçao or Grand Marnier, and an egg white. It's rich and mildly creamy, with mellow whiskey flavors rounded out by sweet fruitiness and just a hint of anise.
