The Drinks International annual list of 50 bestselling classic cocktails has arrived! Find out below what the world is ordering and how to make them!
Hamish Smith, bars editor of Drinks International and editor of the Cocktail Report, said: “Ever since we created our list of the bestselling classics cocktails in 2015, it’s a been a runaway success – perennially the top story on drinksint.com. We knew it could be more than an article in a magazine and on a website, so this year it graduated to form the basis of its own magazine.
“You might think that classic cocktails are a static landscape but our research shows that these drinks roll in and out of fashion like anything else. This year, we’ve seen lesser-known classics make our list and, most interestingly, recently created cocktails become considered classics.”
