The Old Fashioned is timeless. Reigning as the most popular cocktail in the world for eight years running, this cocktail was finally beat out by the Negroni. 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.
The whiskey sour is a mixed drink containing whiskey, lemon juice, sugar, and optionally, a dash of egg white. It is a type of sour, a mixed drink with a base spirit, citrus juice, and a sweetener.
A 1970s staple, the Painkiller was first mixed up in the British Virgin Islands with Pusser’s Navy Rum. Add pineapple and orange juices, plus a dollop of coconut cream, and you’re instantly transported to the tropics.
Brandy, tragically underrepresented on this list, earns a well-deserved moment in the spotlight as one of the world’s most ordered cocktails. The Sidecar is a good place to start for those not familiar with the category-spanning spirit: The drink mixes brandy, lemon, and triple sec, making a tart, refreshing tipple.
A drink from the days of Prohibition, the revival of the Last Word — which combines gin, green chartreuse, Maraschino liqueur, and lime juice — has been credited to bartender Murray Stenson, who came across the drink in an old bar manual while working at Seattle’s Zig Zag Café in 2004.
It’s hard to stray from the Manhattan, and the ascent 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.
Nothing cures the weary winter drinker like a Penicillin, made with blended Scotch, smoky Islay Scotch, lemon juice, and honey ginger simple syrup. Created by Sam Ross, co-owner of New York’s Attaboy, it’ll bring you back to life like a Z-Pack.
Developed by bartender Julio Bermejo of San Francisco’s Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant in the 1990s, the Tommy’s Margarita swaps out the orange liqueur in the traditional Margarita and doubles the amount of agave. You’ve probably had your share of Tommy’s Margaritas without even realizing it.
A combination of vodka, tequila, light rum, gin, triple sec, and a splash of coke – this amber-coloured 'tea' is way more powerful than it looks. Remember to drink responsibly!
Made with Cognac, brandy, Calvados, and vermouth, this cocktail fell 14 spots since last year but remains a popular order at haunts around the globe.
This Scotch-based concoction has been around since the 1930s and has clearly stood the test of time. Made with the aforementioned whisky, sweet vermouth, cherry liqueur, and orange juice, the drink is a little sweet and a little smoky, making for a great year-round cocktail.
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.
We love Negronis at Orzuv and we’re sorely disappointed when a bartender doesn’t know how to make one. Thankfully, that shouldn’t happen much longer, as the Negroni claims the No. 1 spot for the first time this year. Gin, Campari, and vermouth come together in a perfect, punchy package.
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 place in the top 20 for the third year in a row.
The Dark ’n’ Stormy contains a mix of Goslings rum (and only Goslings rum) and ginger beer. Sometimes, simple is best.
