Roger Sterling
John Slattery plays Roger Sterling – the bad cop to Don’s equally bad cop. Two coronaries during the first season didn’t stop this silver fox from continuing his habits of boozing, smoking, and womanizing. In a second season episode he’s seen telling Don how he prefers to stick to the clear spirits like vodka and gin. A man of his stature most likely enjoys a Gibson Martini.
Ingredients
2½ oz of Tanqueray gin or Stoli vodka
¾ oz dry vermouth
3-5 cocktail onions
Instructions
Stir gin or vodka and vermouth on ice in mixing glass. Strain into martini glass and add cocktail onions.
Love this article; makes me want to try every single one of these cocktails while watching a Mad Men marathon!
A little surprised we do not see the Moscow Mule taking a supporting role. It was the drink that shifted America from Gin to Vodka (clear spirits only of course). Invented in the ’40s and popular by early ’50s it would fit in quite nicely since its popularity is traced back to a marketing idea – promotional glassware ie. Copper Mug.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Smirnoff vodka
1/2 oz elixir g ginger mix
Fill with lemon lime soda
Garnish with lime wedge
Instructions
Pour vodka & elixir g into copper mug. Fill with lemon lime and garnish
Cheers.

That’s an *acceptable* Old-Fashioned, but Don Draper drinks his the top-shelf way. Rye, not bourbon.
