As the summer months draw to a close and fruity cocktails reign supreme, we reveal the UK’s favourite cocktail, based on new research data.
And we mention the summer since it stands to reason that the nation’s favourite cocktail may differ slightly depending on the changing seasons and relative opportunities for outdoor sipping.
With all that being said, Maxima Kitchen Equipment – professional kitchen equipment suppliers – have collated Google search data to discover the UK’s favourite cocktail, and it’s a classic ever-popular choice.
Yes, Mojito reigns supreme over the rest as the UK’s favourite cocktail, racking up a hefty 91,600 Google searches each month. Perhaps part of its appeal in current times is its ability to be easily thrown together from the comfort of one’s own home.
And there’s a nod to summer sipping with the nation’s second-most popular cocktail as well. The Piña Colada takes the number two spot, with its creamy, refreshing flavour profile making it a winning choice among consumers.
In third place, the Espresso Martini racked up some 82,700 searches per month, presumably proving popular among coffee lovers (something the UK has no shortage of).
And if Espresso Martinis are your bag, then you’ll doubtless be excited to learn that a dedicated Espresso Martini bar is opening in Edinburgh.
The bar, located within the Assembly Rooms on Edinburgh’s prestigious George Street, will launch with a menu of 20 different serves of Espresso Martini.
