Information about List Of Cocktails

Main article: Cocktail
See also: , , , , , and


A cocktail is a style of mixed drink made predominantly with a distilled beverage, such as vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, or tequila, mixed with another drink other than water. Cocktails usually contain one or more types of liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, or other flavorings. Cocktails may vary in their ingredients from bartender to bartender, and from region to region. Two creations may have the same name but taste very different because of differences in how the drinks are prepared.
  • This article is organized by the primary type of alcohol (by volume) contained in the beverage.
  • Cocktails marked with "" are designated as "IBA Official Cocktails" by the International Bartender Association, and are some of the most popular cocktails worldwide.[1]
  • Expanded articles are cross-referenced. Cocktails without separate articles are listed below, along with their primary ingredients and any notable facts.
  • This article is not intended to be comprehensive list of all cocktails or every variation thereof, and cocktails for which minimal information is not available are not included.
