10. Whisky sour
The only whisky based drink to make our top 10, this short sour drink isn’t everyone’s favourite but those who like it really stand by it! And it provides something different from the vodka, gin and rum that dominates the rest of our top 10, we’ve found these to be especially popular with casino themed parties and the slightly older crowd.
