2024's most popular cocktails 21 - 40

21. Penicillin - 2ost place in 2024, 25th in 2023, 17th in 2022, and 38th in 2021. Prior to 2019, The Penicillin was consistently in our top 10.

22. Aviation - 30th in 2024, 27th in 2023, 16th in 2022, 35th in 2021, and 36th in 2020.

23. Dry Martini - there are numerous styles and ratios of Dry Martini, so spreading the page views. A 5:1 ratio stirred Martini is our preference, also receiving the most page views, but I've added page views from other popular ratios. For years, the Dry Martini tended to sit somewhere in the mid-top 100 and was at 33 in 2024, 62nd in 2023, 67th in 2022, and 56th in 2021. 2025 was a good year for Martinis!

24. Clover Club - 31st place in 2024, 26th in 2023, 39th in 2022, the Clover Club was a new entry during 2021 with its popularity thanks to Julie Reiner and her delicious recipe.

25. Negroni - this easy-to-make, equal-parts bittersweet aperitivo was consistently in our top 10 but slipped to 24th in 2022 and then rose to 17th in 2023, dropping to 18th in 2024. It's not that its popularity has waned – to the contrary, the views on the classic serve are knocked by the numerous riffs such as the White Negroni and during 2021, particularly the Negroni Sbagliato.

26. Sidecar - this cognac-based classic is having a moment and is massively up from 60th place in 2024 and 2025. It was 87th in 2022 and a new entry at 69th place in 2021.
27. Fitzgerald - this gin-based cocktail by Dale DeGroff is massive in Brazil and continues to find more fans in the UK and USA as it rises from 29th place in 2024, 40th in 2023, 46th in 2022, 81st in 2021, and 82nd in 2020.

28. Piña Colada - up from 56th place in 2024, 35th in 2023, 73rd in 2022. The Piña Colada made it to 27th place in 2021 and also 2020.

29. Sazerac - this New Orleans classic was at 55th place in 2024, 34th in 2023, 47th in 2022, 56th in 2021, and 82nd in 2020. Its high was 21st place in 2016.

30. Sex On The Beach - Don't knock it till you try it! 29th place in 2024, 46th in 2023, this was a new entry at 50th place in 2021 and rose all the way up to 14th in 2022.

31. Screaming Orgasm - down from 19th place in 2024, 18th in 2023, and 17th in 2022. The Porn Star Martini isn't the only lewd-named cocktail that's popular!

33. Bramble - my mum's favourite cocktail held 32nd place in 2024 and was 33rd in 2023. It was at 31st in 2022, 21st in 2021, 12th in 2020 and 23rd in 2019. Back in 2018, it sat in 6th place and the year before the Bramble was one place ahead of Dick Bradsell's other contemporary classic, the Espresso Martini.
