Best Alcoholic Mixed Drink Types in the World

01

Pisco Sour

4.4 ·

Pisco Sour is a Peruvian cocktail made with a combination of Pisco brandy, lime juice, sugar syrup, and egg whites. The ingredients are shaken with ice and then strained into an old-fashioned glass. The cocktail is traditionally garnished with Amargo Chancho bitters, but Angostura bitters are widely used today. The first Pisco Sour was made in the early 1920s in Lima by an American bartender Victor Vaughn Morris. Today, there is still an ongoing debate about Pisco Sour’s origin, with Peru and Chile both claiming that their nation is the home of the first Pisco. The Chilean version of the cocktail is made with powdered sugar instead of sugar syrup, and their Pisco is typically aged, unlike the Peruvian version. Regardless of the origin, both countries have a national Pisco Sour Day and celebrate it as their specialty beverage.

02

Chilcano

4.3 ·

Chilcano is a Peruvian cocktail made with a combination of pisco, lime juice, and ginger ale. The simple cocktail is prepared by combining the ingredients in a highball glass over ice, then stirring the combination. If desired, the cocktail can be additionally enriched by adding a few drops of bitters and it is recommended to garnish it with a lime twist. Regarding the origins of this refreshing cocktail, it is believed that the drink started to be called chilcano, which is the name of a local fish head soup, because both the drink and the soup were great hangover cures.

03

Coquito

4.3 ·

Coquito is a traditional cocktail similar to eggnog. It is typically prepared and consumed during the festive Christmas season. The cocktail is made with a combination of coconut milk, rum, condensed milk, and vanilla, although every family has their own variation. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be blended, then chilled and served in small glasses. It is recommended to garnish coquito with nutmeg on top. The name of this drink means little coconut. In Cuba, they serve it with scoops of coconut ice cream, while the Spanish people serve it with turron.

04

Cola de Mono

4.3 ·

It is not Christmas in Chile without a glass of Cola de Mono (lit. Monkey’s Tail). There are numerous versions of this beverage, but it typically consists of milk, sugar, coffee, cloves, cinnamon, and aguardiente – distilled spirits containing between 29% and 60% alcohol by volume. Brandy or rum are among the most common types of alcohol used in Cola de Mono. All ingredients are first boiled, cooled, then combined with aguardiente. The drink can be served hot or cold, and it is traditionally paired with a slice of pan de pascua, a traditional Christmas bread.

05

Chicha Sour

4.3 ·

Chicha Sour is a Peruvian cocktail made with a combination of pisco, lemon or lime juice, simple syrup, egg whites, and chicha morada – a traditional beverage made from purple corn. In order to prepare the cocktail, all ingredients should be shaken without ice in order to create a foamy mix. Ice is then added to the combination, and the whole thing is shaken once again. It is recommended to serve chicha sour in a coupe glass and garnish it with mint.

06

Mojito

4.2 ·

Sugary, refreshing, and herbaceous, Mojito is a traditional cocktail based on rum as the key ingredient. It has a relatively low alcohol content (about 10%). Although Havana is considered its birthplace, the origin of this simple cocktail is still disputed. The original Cuban cocktail recipe includes white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and spearmint yerba buena that grows on the island, but almost every mint variety can be used in the mix if yerba buena is not available. The components of the cocktail are added in a particular order: sugar and lime juice are gently mashed before mint and rum are added to the combination; the cocktail is then briefly stirred and topped with ice and sparkling soda water. Mojito is usually served in a glass garnished with lime wedges and mint leaves. It is considered one of the most popular summer cocktails, which gained worldwide popularity when it was presented as the favorite drink of Ernest Hemingway. There are several versions of Mojito, and many bars in Havana use Angostura bitters or add lemons instead of lime to cut Mojito's sweetness. The so-called Rose Mojito contains rose-flavored spirit Lanique, while a Mojito made without alcohol is called Virgin Mojito or Nojito.

07

White Sangría

4.2 ·

Sangría blanca or white sangría is a white wine version of this popular Spanish wine cocktail. It is usually sweetened and made with light, fruity, and fragrant white wines, while the selection of fruit typically includes peaches, apples, pears, melons, plums, berries, oranges, lemons, and limes. The drink is made by combining white wine, sugar, citrus juice, and fruit. The amount of sugar will depend on the sweetness of the wine and is usually adjusted to taste. It is recommended to cut the fruit into equal-sized pieces, and the combination is best left to macerate for several hours or overnight. This sangría is served well-chilled, preferably topped with ice cubes, while some fresh fruit should be added before serving. White wine sangría should not be made with aged or rich white wines. Recommended varieties include Albariño, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Chablis, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurztraminer. Sometimes, brandy, rum, liqueurs, or spirits can be added to the mix. Like other types of Spanish sangrías, this white version is also served in a pitcher. It is best paired with seafood and pasta or rice dishes, but it can also be a good pairing with cheese.

08

Melón con Vino

4.2 ·

Melón con Vino is a Chilean drink consisting of a hollowed-out honeydew melon that is filled with chilled white wine and powdered sugar. This sticky and sweet concoction is especially popular during summer, and it is typically shared among friends at barbecues, celebrations, and picnics. Melón con Vino is such a staple of Chilean culture and gastronomy that it even has its own day – January 15th, when the drink is celebrated annually, and people are encouraged to spend time with their loved ones while drinking this light and refreshing alcoholic beverage.

09

Rum Punch

4.2 ·

Rum Punch is a classic Caribbean cocktail made with rum, fruit juice, sugar syrup, and water. To prepare it, all you need to do is remember this Caribbean saying: “One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong, and four of weak.” A shot of fruit juice, two shots of sugar syrup, three shots of rum, and four shots of water are combined in a big glass or a jug, then poured into a glass over ice. It is recommended to add a few drops of bitters or some freshly grated nutmeg to elevate the flavors even further. Garnish it with a pineapple wedge for the best possible experience.

10

Frozen Daiquiri

4.2 ·

Frozen daiquiri is a variation of a classic shaken daiquiri, which typically incorporates rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. This frozen version is mostly blended and usually includes pulverized ice and frozen fruit to mix, creating a sweet slurry with a texture similar to a slushie. Frozen daiquiris probably first appeared at the legendary El Floridita in Havana, sometime around the time of Prohibition. They were initially made with crushed ice and electric blenders, but their popularity skyrocketed in the second half of the 20th century after the invention of commercial machines. Banana and strawberry daiquiris were probably the most famous derivations at the time. Through the years, the drink went through many transformations that sometimes significantly differ from the original. They went to include sugar-packed syrups and artificial flavorings, earing frozen daiquiri somewhat of a bad rep. Frozen daiquiri is especially popular in Louisiana, and most local bars specializing in frozen daiquiris have several machines that dispense various daiquiri flavors.
