The Best Cocktails for Your First Date: What to Order, When to Order It, and Why?

First dates can be nerve-wracking. Even if you’ve been chatting with someone on an app for weeks, it doesn’t mean you know them well enough to meet up in person. A first date is also a perfect opportunity to make a great impression. A good first date could lead to something more serious, or even bring you your future partner. 

In any case, the meeting will leave an impact on your future relationships and is worth taking seriously. If you want your first date with those special Russian women for marriage to go well, you need to choose the right location and company while staying comfortable as well as being confident enough not to say anything stupid. The perfect drink can make things easier as well. That’s where we come in: here are the best cocktails for your first date — what to order, when to order it, and why.

A margarita? Yes, if you’re at a Mexican restaurant

If you’re trying to impress a girl you’ve just met at a Mexican place, a Margarita is a great option. The drink is popular in all parts of the country, but ordering it shows you’ve done your homework and that you’ve chosen a classic option. A Margarita will taste great no matter what brand of tequila you order, but you should try to choose the best tequila you can afford — it will make a difference. 

If you’re on a date in a high-end Mexican restaurant, on the other hand, a Margarita may not be the best idea. It’s a classic, but it’s also a bit affordable — it’s not a drink you should order in such an expensive place. Try something a little more pricey.

Champagne? Yes, if you’re having an afternoon date

Champagne is a very elegant drink, but it’s also very festive — so if you’re on an afternoon date, it could be a perfect choice. If you’re meeting for a midday drink, you don’t want to order something too heavy — drinks like whisky or scotch are delicious and tasty, but they’re better for later in the day. Champagne is also a great choice if you don’t want to go overboard with your spending. It’s a bit more expensive than a drink like a Mojito, but it’s still more affordable than most cocktails.

Cozy cocktail: when you’re ready to go

If you want to take your date in a different direction, but you’re not sure what to order, try a cocktail that combines tastes. These drinks usually feature savory ingredients like tomatoes and herbs with sweeteners like sugar or honey. They’re a great choice for a first date because they’re somewhat unusual — your date will be curious about them. 

One of the most popular types of cocktails like this is the Bloody Mary. This drink is made with: 

• tomato juice, 
• vodka, pepper, 
• and herbs like parsley, celery, and pepper. 

Another great option is the Michelada; it features: 

• beer, 
• tomato juice, 
• hot sauce, 
• and lime juice.

A Dark & Dirty Martini? Why not!

A Martini can be a great choice for a first date — as long as you order the right one. If you order a classic Martini, a drink like a Greyhound will be a bit more interesting. A Dark and Dirty Martini has a bit of everything: 

• it’s sweet, 
• savory, 
• and bitter. 

If you order a classic Martini, the conversation will be less captivating — but a drink like this will lead to a more interesting dialogue. If your date likes to drink, this is a great choice — it’s a drink that will keep you both interested and engaged.

Digestif: after the date

If your first date goes well, you may want to linger a bit longer with your date. If you want to keep the conversation going, order a digestif — preferably a brandy or an after-dinner drink like a port. These drinks are a great way to keep the conversation going — and an opportunity to get to know your date better. These drinks are not exactly cocktails, and they’re not exactly soft drinks. They’re more like a bridge between the two — a great way to transition to the end of your date.
