It’s very likely that this sort of argument about which are the best drinks has been shared by thousands if not millions of people, and it is also very likely that these arguments have had the same outcome; there is no clear winner. However, there are a few drinks that, because of their popularity, are considered to be some of the best alcoholic drinks a person can have.

For those who prefer a less diluted mixture of more intense liquors, a coke and whiskey mixture is often a very pleasing alcoholic beverage. While the soda would take the bite out of straight whiskey, the person drinking will still have a distinct taste of whiskey.

If you’re interested in more fruity alcoholic beverages, then many people find a Blue Hawaiian to be a very pleasurable alcoholic libation. With its mixture of spiced rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curacao liquor and, of course, cream of coconut liqueur, this drink is as pleasing to look at as it is to consume. In addition, other fruity drinks such as the very popular Appletini and Mai Tai, are all some of the more synonymous types of libations.

Of course, if you’re looking for the venerable favorites when it comes to alcoholic beverages, you certainly could do no wrong with either a Long Island iced tea, Tequila Sunrise or the long-standing favorite, the Bloody Mary. These drinks have been a mainstay in alcoholic beverages for many years and continue to be some of the more popular and favorite standard alcoholic beverages.

If you’re looking for an answer as to which of these is the best alcoholic beverage, you are going to be rather disappointed because, simply put, there is no best alcoholic beverage. The decision as to which beverage you find most appealing is going to depend on your personal tastes. What is wonderful to one person is tantamount to swill to the other person. The best thing to do is not to get hung up on discussions and arguments over which is the best alcoholic drink. It is more importantly to enjoy the ones that you like the most and allow others to enjoy the ones that they prefer. No arguments, just good times and good drinks.

As one of the most well known cocktails martinis are typically made with gin and vermouth but recipes vary wildly due to its nature as a mixed drink. Here are some of the most popular martinis around, give them a try next time you have the opportunity.

Ice Wine Martini

Martinis have always been considered a sort of sophisticated alcoholic beverage but this variant ups the ante even further. Made with ice wine, ice, vodka and seedless green grapes this drink has a bitter-sweet taste that is simply amazing. Also don’t forget to add two halved green grapes for garnish so you look cool when drinking this popular martini.

Brazilian Martini

Though this popular martini shares its name with a popular (and some would say, extremely painful) waxing technique it is actually called a “Brazilian” due to the fact that it is made with Cachaca, a sugar cane spirit from Brazil. The recipe includes pomegranate juice, sugar, ice, Cachaca and a sliced lime. The drink should be served in a chilled martini glass. The taste is smooth and clean due to the blend of lime and Cachaca, giving it its distinct flavor.

Appletini

As the name implies an appletini is an apple tasting version of the standard vodka martini which comes from its apple cider content. Though there are a variety of was to make this drink it typically involves mixing dry and sweet vermouth, top shelf vodka and apple cider or in some cases, apple juice. This relatively new martini exploded in popularity due to its appearance on shows such as Scrubs, The Colbert Report, Sex and the City and Two and a Half Men. Even Mark Zuckerberg has named the appletini the official drink of Facebook.

Sex With an Alligator

Some martinis such as Sex With an Alligator don’t need garnish for visual appeal. When mixed correctly this popular martini creates a drink with green in the middle and brownish black on the top and bottom for a striking look. Oddly enough the drink doesn’t use vodka or vermouth and instead opts for the infamous German liquor Jagermeister mixed with raspberry liquor, melon liquor, and sweet and sour mix. The Jagermeister’s sweet, yet strong alcohol flavor is tempered by the other ingredients for a taste that is as unique as it looks.
