UPDATE: This story was originally published on March 31.
The Mad Men hiatus has been rough on all of us (most especially John Hamm's, er, manhood), but now the wait is finally over. Come next Sunday, Don Draper, Pete Campbell, and the rest of the Sterling Cooper gang will be back in your living room, smoking cigs and drinking scotch. To commemorate the occasion, we couldn't think of any better way than by mixing up some '60s-inspired cocktails. So, we turned to Mia Johansson and Pam Wiznitzer, two ace NYC bartenders, to hook us up with some Mad Men-inspired sippers. Drink at your own risk.
