Top 10 Most Iconic Cocktails in the World

The Martini conjures the golden age of Hollywood, the Old Fashioned whispers of 19th-century gentleman's clubs, and the Margarita evokes sun-soaked Mexican beaches. Whether you're a purist who insists on stirred not shaken, or an adventurer reaching for the perfect Negroni, these ten cocktails have shaped bar culture around the world and stood the test of time.
