Arriving at the big 3-0 can be a nerve-wracking and exhilarating experience at the same time. On the one hand, you’re leaving a confusing decade where it seemed like you were treading water but still having tons of fun. On the other hand, you feel confident and empowered because you finally have your path figured out and can’t wait to knock the third floor off the park.

Besides, the 30s come with undeniable class, modest lifestyle, and great choices. Top among the changes most people make is the drink in their hand. You’ll no longer have a taste for cheap beer and natty ice hangovers. In the third decade, you begin having a taste for the finer things in life. But it doesn’t happen automatically. You need to go out and try out new drinks and find one that works for you. We’ve shared our top six drinks we believe everyone should get acquainted with within their 30s. Let’s dive right in.

1.  Wine

Wine is among the most sophisticated drinks. Whether you prefer white or red blend wine, a glass of this drink instantly makes you look classy. Furthermore, you have numerous options to choose from to give your taste buds a treat. You can go for rose, regular red and white, or champagne during special occasions.

Wine is also a perfect drink for individuals looking to slow down on drinking in their 30s. When taken in moderation, this drink gives you a feeling of relaxation.

2.  Cognac

You’ve turned up for numerous parties in your 20s, and all you want is to slow down and enjoy an exquisite drink once in a while in your 30s. If this is your idea of a perfect way to enjoy a Friday evening or night-out, the perfect drink for you would be cognac. This is a no-rush, not just for kicks.

However, cognac can be an acquired taste for most people. Therefore, don’t give up on it the first time you try it. Try it a couple of times to find out how you like it. To make your experience even better, grab a cigar along with it.

3.  The Martini

The Martini is designed for the sophisticated man. The drink is a mixture of gin or vodka with a bit of dry vermouth served with a twirled lemon peel or olive. The Martini is designed for men donning the salt and pepper look. Ordering this drink at the bar will earn you lots of stares of admiration.

The Martini appeals to ladies as well. Therefore, don’t be intimidated by this “male” drink. Order one and find out if it’s your thing.

4.  The Manhattan

The Manhattan is a classic drink that dates back to the 1800s. This drink oozes class and makes you seem like someone who knows what they want in life. The Manhattan is made using rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and a dash of Angostura bitters.

The ingredients are tossed in a shaker with ice, stirred, and poured out. The drink is then garnished with a maraschino cherry. If your goal is to keep things sharp and straightforward, The Manhattan won’t disappoint. It’s an excellent drink for whiskey lovers.

5.  Cosmopolitan

The cosmo became quite popular in the 90s thanks to the TV show Sex and the City, but the drink is still popular today. It’s mostly a ladies’ drink because of its pretty pink color. However, some men don’t shy away from drinking this spin on the Martini.

The ingredients used to make this drink include citrus vodka, Cointreau, lime juice, and cranberry juice. All the ingredients are tossed in a shaker with ice, strained, and added to a Martini glass. The drink is garnished with a lemon wheel or zest.

6.  Whiskey Sour

The whiskey sour is one of the most refreshing cocktails you can have. It’s been around for some time, and it’s still quite popular to date. The drink contains whiskey, lemon juice, sugar, and egg white ( optional).

To make the drink, bartenders combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake. If the egg white is part of the ingredients, they use a “dry shake” technique to make incorporating the egg easier. Afterward, they add ice and shake the mixture again. The drink is then strained and added over ice in a rock glass and garnished with lemon zest.

Wrapping Up

The third decade is an exhilarating one. Don’t let societal pressures deny you the joy of enjoying your thirties. Embrace this decade by trying these incredible drinks and embracing a classier lifestyle. You only live once, so ensure the drink in your hand excites you!
