From the bar to the world: recognise classic cocktails like the Mojito, Margarita, Caipirinha, Negroni, Aperol Spritz, Piña Colada, Cosmopolitan, Mai Tai, Bloody Mary, Manhattan, Martini, Daiquiri, Cuba Libre and Gin and Tonic by their glass, colour and garnish. Good to know: The Mojito is a Cuban cocktail of white rum, lime, mint, sugar and soda. The mint leaves are pressed, not crushed. The Margarita blends tequila, orange liqueur and lime: often with a salt rim. It comes on the rocks or as a frozen version. The Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail of cachaça, lime and sugar. Cachaça is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice. The Negroni is equal parts gin, Campari and red vermouth. It is served with an orange twist. The Aperol Spritz mixes Aperol, prosecco and soda into a bright-orange aperitif. It has become the quintessential summer drink. The Piña Colada combines rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice: creamy and sweet. It is the official cocktail of Puerto Rico. The pink Cosmopolitan mixes vodka, Cointreau, cranberry and lime juice.
