This must be in your glass this summer

Where last summer we were all about gin and tonic adorned with thin slices of cucumber, elderflower sprigs, and red pepper, this summer we are going for something new in our glass. Society magazine Tatler did the groundwork and listed the most popular alcoholic drinks for us. It turns out that the previously oh so popular Aperol Spritz really can't be anymore. The orange drink is being dethroned by another Italian variant: the Negroni. This Italian aperitivo is made from gin, red vermouth, and Campari and is already the hit of 2018. Prefer something else in your glass? Tomorrow the first barbecue of the year is on the agenda? With these drinks, you are definitely good to go.

• Negroni, based on gin, red vermouth, and Campari
• Gin and tonic
• Champagne
• Whiskey, neat, for both men and women
• Tequila, neat
• Espresso tequila, a mix of Italian espresso with tequila
• Vodka, neat
