Cocktails, anyone?

For this year's "Best of Baltimore" issue, fellow blogger Amy and I are heading up the "fun" category, which includes nightlife, sports, and rec. A lot of the categories I really don't mind "researching," but I was wondering if you guys had suggestions for one in particular: best cocktail. I'm a pretty avid beer drinker and my idea of a "cocktail" has always been a good vodka tonic. That said, I do like ice picks occasionally and maybe a mojito here or there, but I'm certainly not an expert.

Do you guys have any suggestions on great cocktails in the city? Creativity and taste are key.
