Harry's Bar in Paris (Sidecar) -- Poohbear_nc
Waldorf Hotel in New York City (?????)
Caffè Giacosa in Florence (Negroni) -- Issybird
Morris Bar in Lima (?????)
Park Hotel in New York City (Screwdriver) -- Issybird

The two remaining cocktails are--
Rob Roy
Pisco Sour

Issybird had 6 correct answers, and just beat out Shayne Parkinson who had 5 correct answers. Congratulations Issy!

If anyone wants to match the last two cocktails to their bars I'll verify any guesses.

Waldorf Hotel in New York City - Brandy Alexander? I remember this was associated with the Algonquin group (?)

Dang! Too late! And wrong!

Except for the Singapore Sling, I didn't have a clue about ANY of the others. In fact, I have no idea what most of them are. I guess I shouldn't have joined the WCTU but I figured it would be a great place to meet girls...

Thank you!

All but one (Alabama) of US states have an official nickname. Most have one or more unofficial nicknames as well. I'll provide the nickname, you provide the state. Some states may appear more than once.

Mother of Rivers
Mother of Rivers (not a typo; there are two)
Sucker State
Mitten State
Iodine Products State
Home of Tax Free Shopping
Mother of Presidents
Mother of Modern Presidents
Land of Infinite Variety
Hog and Hominy State
Tomato State
Baja Wisconsin
Sleepy State
Rip Van Winkle State
Holland of America
Italy of America
Switzerland of America
Lizard State
Valentine State
Land of Steady Habits
Friendly State
Friendship State
Land of the Noonday Moon
Toothpick State
Potatonia
Hemp State
Vacationland
Home of Beautiful Women
Puke State
Free State
Blue Law State


No insults intended to natives or residents of the more colorfully nicknamed states. Puke State, I'm looking at you.

So Hamlet53's got four of them. Having read his paean to the Lone Star State in another thread, I snickered at his choice for Puke State. One of the other 49, I'm afraid.

Well, I know none of these, so I'll just take some wild guesses and see what I get (it's like doing my exams at school all over again);

Lizard State - Arizona
Friendly State - Hawaii
Vacationland - Florida
Land of Infinite Variety - California

That's probably all I can even guess at. I am totally intrigued by some. 'The Land of Steady Habits' sounds just adorable!

Hamlet53
Nameless Being
 
So here are a few more guesses on reflection, including my previous misses:

Mother of Rivers = Minnesota
Rip Van Winkle State = Kentucky (Mark Twain: “When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Kentucky, because everything there happens 20 years after it happens anywhere else.” and though I think what ever state claims this swiped if from New York)
Friendship State = Pennsylvania
Puke State = Hawaii (putting aside the English common meaning of puke that inspired my guess of Texas).
