Margarita Reigns Supreme: Bacardi's Cocktail Trends Report Reveals Global Favorites

The Bacardi Cocktail Trends Report 2026 has revealed that the margarita is the most ordered drink at bars worldwide. According to the report, which was produced by Bacardi in collaboration with The Future Laboratory, a London-based trends consultancy, the mojito comes in second and the piña colada third.

The survey draws on consumer and bartender surveys conducted by Bacardi, as well as interviews with industry professionals. It found that drinks with two ingredients dominate the top of the list, including rum and Coke, whisky and Coke, vodka soda, and gin and tonic.

However, the dry martini stands out from these quick-to-make favorites, taking 10th place in the rankings. Other popular cocktails include tequila soda, gin lemonade, and the screwdriver.

A separate analysis of Google search data covering August 2024 through July 2025 shows that Americans have a different set of priorities when it comes to searching for cocktails online. The old fashioned is the most searched cocktail in the US, followed by the margarita and the espresso martini.
