There is no denying that the bestselling cocktails are like the seasons and can keep changing year-round based on environmental factors. A cocktail can have the best flavors, but a new drink on the block can easily overpower a classic before it comes back into the cycle to be the top choice. Here is a list of cocktails that have been on the top of the bestselling list despite all odds.

1. Old fashioned bourbon
When you want a little more than a neat whiskey, this is a flavorful drink that holds the taste of whiskey in the right proportions. It is a sweetened yet seasoned drink that has been drawn up by the right combination of bitters, water, and sugar.

2. Long island iced tea
The very taste of it is “LIT,” as we fondly refer to it in today’s modern language. When you want a mix of elegance with sophistication, this cocktail is almost always on the top charts of recommendations for the best mixed drinks. While it has a blend of four different bases of alcohol, it blends pleasantly with a dash of cola and lemon juice. The recipe may seem a little overwhelming to some, but this one drink can never disappoint anyone.

3. Manhattan
This is one cocktail that has been tried to be adapted to a modern taste but has never gone out of fashion for it more a century-old classic recipe. This drink combines either rye or bourbon with bitters and a dash of sweet vermouth to give you a heavenly drink all year round. All you need to do is spice it up with a brandied cherry or a lemon twist, and you can have a blend of both modern and classic in one shot.

4. Margarita
This is one drink that is greatly relished by ardent cocktail lovers. It brings in a refreshing and sharp taste. This is a drink that combines the best of the agave spirits – tequila, shaken with triple sec and lime juice.

5. Dirty martini
If you want a simple drink that brings in all the elegance of enjoying liquor, then a glass of dirty martini can never let you down. It is a shake-up of the classic martini with a splash of brine from the olives you use for garnish.

6. Bloody mary
Last but not least, the bloody mary is one drink we can never leave out when speaking about bestselling cocktails. This is the drink you can wake up to or go to bed with, and it can never disappoint you. While there are many renditions of what garnishes work best in place of the celery stick, the truth is that none can bring out the spicy soul of the drink better than the celery.
