The World's Most Popular Cocktails
Whisk(e)y and cocktails have long been bedfellows, especially so of the American styles. This year, a whiskey cocktail has topped the list once more, with Drinks international magazine announcing the Old Fashioned as the world’s most popular (best-selling) cocktail in 2020, albeit with a lower percentage than the previous year. It’s important to note that the list is compiled using a survey of bars and doesn’t relate to how much that bar sells in volume. We suspect the Daiquiri, Margarita and Aperol Spritz may be ordered in high quantities, and surprised the Cosmopolitan doesn’t feature at all, but hey, a list that includes three whisky cocktails in the top ten deserves a mention. Here they are.
OLD FASHIONED The Old Fashioned has topped the biggest selling list for the past seven years. However, Drinks International said “for the first time, succession looks plausible”. This year only 23% of bars said the sweetened American whiskey drink was their top seller, down from 35% last year.
