Some cocktails never go out of style. Others rise quickly to the top thanks to trends, bartenders or simply just based on deliciousness. From new faces to timeless classics, these are the cocktails worth knowing. The kind for dancefloors, dinner tables and big celebration smiles.

Whether you’re discovering something new or revisiting an old favourite, these are our top 10 cocktails:

Velvety, smooth, with a caffeine kick. Espresso Martini is the drink that keeps you dancing all night long. Born in the 1980s and still thriving, it’s a staple for those who like things bold. Goes with sweet things — desserts. And lovers? Meets you bundled up in sheets. Or warms you up on a winter walk.

The Margarita got hot. With chilli heat balancing limey sharpness. It’s playful, vibrant — perfect for adventurous palates. No wonder it’s one of the most talked-about serves. Spicy Margarita’s a global superstar, if you like. It’s ready to meet you onstage. Just say you’ll be there?

Rich, velveteen vanilla kisses. With sweet fruit layers. Sweet passionfruit is lifted by tart citrus. This one’s a real crowd-pleaser. Loves to Netflix and chill? Or shimmy to samba rhythms. Our Passionfruit Martini is a familiar face — with a whole new look. It’s expensive, darling. Vamos?

Equal parts gin, vermouth and Campari. The Negroni is bold, complex, endlessly sophisticated. It’s a bartender’s favourite and a timeless aperitif for those who enjoy a little edge. Loves a natter. And a nibble.

Whiskey, sugar, bitters. Simple yet perfect. The Old Fashioned embodies elegance and tradition, loved by purists and new explorers alike. One for sipping over deep debates. Or taking to karaoke. Our song? It’s always Dancing in the Moonlight.

This one’s all about summer. Our Mojito wants to see your wild side. Spend days flitting from the sand — to the shore. And back again. Muddled mint, lime and rum, it’s endlessly refreshing. Cool, bright. A whole lotta soul.

Holiday in a glass. All-inclusive somewhere. Circa 1989? Pineapple, coconut and rum blend into a tropical escape. It’s made for sunny moments. It’s cheeky with a cherry on top. Our Piña Colada is silky-sweet, light on its feet. Not quite the one you may know.

 A cocktail that greets you at the door. All sparkling smiles. Margarita takes you right to the middle of the action, wants you to get into the groove. Tequila, lime, triple sec. Crisp, zingy and perfectly balanced. A drink to raise for all of life’s best moments.

Bright pink. Effortlessly stylish. Cosmopolitan is a cocktail with flair. A blend of cranberry, citrus and vodka – it’s light and fun. Flaunts its stuff with your best kicks. Equally good over long lunches. Knows friendship never goes out of style.

Refreshing grapefruit meets tequila for a cocktail that’s zesty, bright and easy to sip. Less intense than a Margarita, but every bit as satisfying. Our Paloma is juicy and zesty. One for scorcher summer days. Or twinkling over tinsled tablescapes.

These cocktails are beloved worldwide, celebrated for their balance of flavour and versatility. They’ve stood the test of time (or quickly earned their place) and remain favourites for bartenders and drinkers alike. Whether you’re planning a night in, hosting friends or ordering at the bar, this list gives you the perfect mix of classics and modern must-haves.
