According to research from online drinks retailer NIO Cocktails, Brits are choosing more and more to toast celebratory occasions with cocktails, instead of Champagne, wine and prosecco.
And that’s certainly the case during the festive season, with internet searches for ‘cocktails’ peaking during December and TikTok cocktail videos clocking up more than 4.2billion views.
The surbey found that New Year is the occasion when most people will opt for a cocktail over other drinks – around 5.8 million of us – closely followed by Christmas Day itself.
Here are the 13 most popular Christmas tipples and how to make them at home. Remember to drink responsibly.
13. Margarita
The Margarita is one of the most popular cocktails in the world - all year round. Shake up ice, 50ml tequila, 25ml lime juice and 20ml triple sec. Pour into a glass with salt around the rim (rub lime juice along the rim, then dip the glass onto a small amount of salt) and garnish with a lime slice. Photo: Canva/Getty Images
