Most popular cocktails

See if any of these popular drinks are amongst your favourites.

• The fruity Pina Colada has to be in the top five – this delicious blend of coconut cream, white rum and pineapple juice is loved for its sweet and creamy taste.
• Sex on the beach sounds interesting but any idea what’s actually in it? It’s a slightly sweet, tart, and peachy cocktail that combines vodka with peach schnapps and cranberry juice.
• Heard of a negroni? We have – but are never sure what it’s made of. It’s based on equal measures of gin, vermouth and Campari and apparently tastes quite bitter. Not one for the faint hearted!
• Pimm’s is a wonderful summertime cocktail – based on gin, herbal botanicals, caramelised orange, and warm spices. Combine it with lemonade, ice and fruit and you have a perfectly refreshing and easy to drink cocktail.
• Passion fruit martinis are another popular choice. Vanilla vodka mixed with passion fruit liqueur, with a dash of freshly squeezed lime juice and a simple vanilla syrup makes this drink taste sweet and tropical.
