ALL TYPES OF COCKTAIL
1. Jungle Bird - Jungle Bird, which
was reportedly invented in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, circa 1978.
While high-end cocktail bars often
serve the drink in a bird cage for
the ultimate presentation, at-
home bartenders can stick with a
rocks glass and a pineapple wedge
garnish.
2. Long Island Iced Tea - New to the
list in 2020, the Long Island Iced
Tea combines four spirits: light
rum, vodka, tequila, and gin. It’s
the ultimate cocktail for indecisive
imbibers. Love it or hate it, the
sickly sweet cocktail is back.
3. Gin Gin Mule- Gin Gin Mule on the
list of the world’s most popular
cocktails. The Gin Gin Mule (a.k.a.
the Ginger Rogers) is a cross
between a Moscow Mule and a
Mojito, with gin as the star of the
show.
4. White Lady-This cocktail
originating in the 1920s was
reimagined with a dash of egg
whites by Peter Dorelli, former
manager of The American Bar in
London. Its base is gin, mixed with
fresh lemon juice and either
Cointreau or Combier.
5. Cosmopolitan - The days of the
Cosmo as the bartender’s piñata
are over. You may even see
crafted spins on this drink, but
mostly, there’s indifference. If you
 need reminding, it’s vodka, triple
sec, cranberry, and lime. Despite
dropping 14 spots since 2017, the
Cosmo has remained relevant,
meaning it might be time to give
the pink drink a second chance.
6. Zombie -Fruity, bright, and
crushable, this tiki cocktail was
first invented in Hollywood, Calif.
by bartender “Don The
Beachcomber” in 1934. The
cocktail consists of lime, lemon,
and pineapple juices, passion fruit
syrup, Angostura bitters, brown
sugar, and three different types of
rum (light, dark, and 151-proof).
7. Tom Collins-The original Tom
Collins recipe calls for gin, lemon,
and soda water; essentially, it’s a
spritzy lemonade for grownups.
This quintessential gin Highball,
however, has fallen five places
since the previous year’s list was
released.
8. Irish Coffee- The Irish Coffee was
pioneered by Irish Chef Joe
Sheridan in the 1940s. James
Beard winner and author of “The
Craft of the Cocktail” Dale DeGroff
describes Irish Coffee as, “cold
cream, hot sweet coffee, laced
with wonderful Irish whiskey.”
What’s not to love? Exact
proportions and types of whiskey,
sugar, and cream preparations
can vary slightly, but when done
right, it’s delicious.
9. Piña Colada -Another nod to the
tropical cocktails resurgence, this
1970s-era Puerto Rican slushie
pleasure is made with white rum,
coconut cream, and pineapple
juice.
10. Bellini -This famous Prosecco-
based brunch staple was invented
by Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry’s Bar
in Venice, Italy. The two-
ingredient cocktail simply
combines the Italian bubbly with
peach puree in a flute glass.
11. Brandy Crusta-The Brandy Crusta
is a complex creation inspired by
New Orleans cocktail culture. It is
a delicate combination of brandy,
curaçao, lemon juice, simple
syrup, Angostura bitters, and
Maraschino liqueur.
12. Americano-Not to be confused
with the espresso drink (in fact, it
has nothing to do with coffee at
all), this Italian cocktail was
created by Gaspare Campari, who
served it in his bar Caffè Campari
in the 1860s. This Campari,
vermouth, and soda water drink is
quickly rising in popularity.
13. Paloma-The Paloma is among the
most-loved tequila drinks at
VinePair. It entered this list for the
first time in 2017, and it has not
only stuck around, but raised in
rank — moving up 14 spaces since
last year. The Paloma mixes
tequila and grapefruit — we think
Avion, Spindrift grapefruit soda,
and a squeeze of fresh lime work
best —
 or you can switch it up with
seasonal ingredients, or substitute
tequila or slightly smoky mezcal.
14. Sazerac-The Sazerac has slipped
from its former top 10 status, but
its staying power is clear. The
drink originated in the 1850s in
New Orleans, and remains deeply
entwined with Crescent City
culture. It can be made with rye or
brandy, along with Demerara
syrup, Peychaud’s Bitters, a lemon
twist, and absinthe as needed.
15. Boulevardier- The Boulevardier is
the Negroni’s fraternal twin that
utilizes whiskey instead of gin. It’s
equal parts rye, amaro, and sweet
vermouth. Garnish with an orange
twist, and you’ve got yourself an
afternoon.
16. Gimlet- Two parts gin, one part
lime juice, and one-half part
sweetener, the Gimlet is an easy
sipper that inspires many
iterations, and has maintained its
12th place spot for two years
running.
17. Bloody Mary-The Bloody Mary is
as much an experience as a drink.
The brunch-time staple is best
enjoyed with a house mix of
tomato juice, vodka, and spices.
And, if it’s your thing, an array of
garnishes from celery and olives to
bacon to entire cheeseburgers are
known to make appearances.
18. Mojito- The Mojito might be Cuba’s
most popular contribution to
cocktail culture. The mix of white
rum, lime juice, cane sugar, and
soda (with muddled mint, please)
 is fresh and tropical, and it’s a
classic that we don’t expect to
disappear any time soon.
19. Manhattan- It’s hard to stray from
the Manhattan, and the recent rise
of rye whiskey makes it even more
difficult. Spicy rye, sweet
vermouth, and two dashes of
Angostura, stirred, strained, and
garnished with a brandied cherry
can make you feel like a true class
act.
20. Espresso Martini- Like a refined
Red Bull and vodka for coffee
lovers, the Espresso Martini
promises a pick-me-up, calm-me-
down effect in a tasty package.
The after-dinner drink will wake
you up while still keeping your
buzz going. It’s also been called a
Vodka Espresso and
Pharmaceutical Stimulant.
21. Margarita- The Margarita, in its
tart, tangy simplicity, is probably
the most well-known tequila
cocktail in the world. It’s also one
of the most popular cocktails in
America. It keeps its spot as the
world’s top tequila-based classic in
2021.
22. Dry Martini- A well-made dry
Martini is elegance in a glass. The
classic mix of gin and dry
vermouth ranks No. 4 in the top
50 cocktails of the year
23. Old Fashioned- The Old Fashioned
is timeless. This simple classic
made with rye or bourbon, a sugar
cube, Angostura bitters, a thick
cube of ice, and an orange twist
delivers every time.
