Friday Night Thirst: The 10 Most Popular Cocktails in the World

5. Martini

Who wouldn’t want to feel like James Bond for a moment? While the Martini dates back to the turn of the 20th century, the world’s most popular spy certainly gave this cocktail its modern day allure. The traditional version combines gin with dry vermouth and is served with a lemon twist and the trademark olive; shaken or stirred. While this version is still one of the most-ordered, variations like the Appletini have also increased its popularity amongst the younger drinking crowd looking to get that 007 feel.
