Lordy, what a year it’s been. Here are the cocktails 2016 drove us to drink, according to our Google searches.
10. White Russian
White Russians aren’t just for The Dude. They’re for you — with Funfetti or with pumpkin spice.
9. Mimosa
Everyone knows mimosas are just orange juice with sparkling wines — try these three springtime twists on the mimosa.
8. Rusty nail
A rusty nail is just whiskey with Drambuie. If you’re into whiskey, try some of these sexy cocktails.
7. Hot toddy
We love a hot toddy for colds and chilly weather. Here are a few hot toddy recipes we can recommend.
6. Old fashioned
An old fashioned is just whiskey with bitters and a crushed sugar cube. We’ll take a whiskey sour, please.
5. Mojitos
So many summer days, so many mojito recipes. Ever try its cousin, the caipirinha?
4. Sex on the beach
Mix equal parts vodka, cranberry juice and orange juice, add a bit of peach schnapps, and oh, be careful!
3. Strawberry daiquiri
We like the third most Googled cocktail too — especially this coconut and strawberry swirl daiquiri.
2. Martini
Five or six parts gin, one part dry vermouth (or less), always chilled — stirred, not shaken, if you like yours strong.
1. Sangria
Surprise! The No. 1 cocktail is sangria! We like these fall sangria recipes and this white Christmas sangria.
