The Origins of Gin:
First sold as medicine, the addition of the juniper during the distillation process was so that the
spirit was more drinkable. ... The armies brought the spirit back to England where it became a
favorite drink among the poor, who used leftover corn and barley to distill their own gin.
A massive 34% - over a third - of the world’s 50 best-selling classic cocktails in 2019 were gin
cocktails, according to a report released earlier this year by Drinks International. Here at Craft
Gin Club, of course, we weren’t surprised to hear that such a large proportion of the world’s
best-selling drinks are gin-based, givin how much we - and our lovely members - love them!
So without further ado, here are the ten most popular classic gin cocktails in the world in
2019, as revealed by the report, and how to make them. Can you guess which cocktail came top
of the pile?

Bramble
Position on list of top 50 best-selling cocktails: 37
In tenth place is a perennial favourite. Invented in London in the 1980s, it’s actually one of the
‘youngest’ cocktail recipes on the list!
60ml dry gin

30ml lemon juice, freshly squeezed
15ml sugar syrup
15ml crème de mûre (blackberry liqueur)
Lemon slice, to garnish
Fresh blackberries, to garnish
In a shaker packed with ice, shake gin, lemon juice and sugar syrup vigorously. Strain into a
glass filled with crushed ice. Drizzle liqueur over ice. Garnish with lemon and blackberries to
serve.
White Lady
Position on list of world’s best-selling cocktails: 33
Although not widely popular in the UK, the White Lady is clearly much loved elsewhere in the
world, based on this result. Simple and delicious, it’s a staple recipe that every gin lover should
have in their cocktail-making arsenal.

50ml gin
24ml triple sec
15ml lemon juice
Egg white (optional)
Combine your ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry shake for 20 seconds, until the egg is
emulsified. Add ice and shake again, straining into a chilled cocktail coupe and serving
straightaway.
French 75
Position on list of world’s best-selling cocktails = 29
More than 100 years after its invention, this Parisian classic is still as popular as on its initial
release!
30ml gin
15ml lemon juice
15ml simple syrup
Champagne (or other sparkling wine)
Add the gin, lemon juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake for about
five seconds. Strain into a champagne flute and top with ice cold Champagne or sparkling wine
for one of the best ways to kick off a dinner.

Dry Martini
Position on list of world’s best-selling classic cocktails = 6
For those that claim a vodka martini is better than the classic (gin) martini, let the results speak
for themselves: the former sits down in 36th position on the list of the world’s best-selling
cocktails, while the latter triumphs, in sixth position overall, and as the second most popular gin
cocktail on the list.
50ml gin
10ml dry vermouth
Lemon twist, to garnish
Put a Martini glass in the freezer and leave to chill for as long as possible. Combine your gin and
vermouth in a mixing glass over cubed ice. Stir until cold and diluted. Strain into an iced Martini
glass and garnish with a lemon twist to serve.

Gin Fizz
Dating back to the 19th century, this is one of the oldest cocktails on the whole list, and it’s
incredible that it’s still one of the world’s top 20 best-selling cocktails more than 120 years later!
50ml gin
20 ml freshly squeezed lemon
20 ml of simple syrup*
20 ml of egg white
About 50ml soda water
Shake everything without ice in a shaker for about three seconds, then fill the shaker with ice and
shake for about seven to 10 seconds. Add soda water in the shaker - 50ml or more depending on
how strong you want your drink – and strain it in to a glass over ice. Garnish with a lemon
wedge.

Corpse Reviver
Although undoubtedly tasty (and strong!), we were surprised to see this punchy cocktail beat off
so many other classics to take the bronze position of third most popular gin cocktail on the list.
The authors of the report reveal that this gin drink has moved up a massive 22 places in
popularity in the last year! Have you tried it?
21ml gin
21ml lemon juice
21ml Cointreau
21ml Lillet Blanc
Dash of absinthe
Shake all ingredients with ice in a cocktail mixer. Strain into a chilled coupette. Serve.
