With the arrival of spring, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about refreshing cocktails to enjoy in the warmer weather. Many classic cocktails are making a comeback, and bartenders are putting their own spin on these traditional drinks. Here are five cocktails that are making a comeback this spring:
- Gimlet
The gimlet has been around for over a century. It’s a simple yet refreshing drink that combines gin and lime juice. The gimlet fell out of favor for a while, but it’s now making a comeback. Bartenders are experimenting with different types of gin and adding twists like cucumber or mint.
- Boulevardier
The Boulevardier is similar to a Negroni, but with whiskey instead of gin. It’s a sophisticated drink that’s perfect for sipping on a warm spring evening. The Boulevardier has also been around for quite some time, but it’s recently gained popularity with the rise of craft cocktails.
- Daiquiri
The Daiquiri is a classic cocktail that’s been well-known for ages, but it’s recently made its way back. The Daiquiri is a simple drink that combines rum, lime juice, and sugar. It’s refreshing and perfect for a warm spring day. Bartenders are experimenting with different types of rum and adding garnishes like grapefruit or mint to give the drink a modern twist.
- Paloma
The Paloma is a cocktail from Mexico, but it’s recently gained popularity in the United States. The Paloma is a refreshing drink that combines tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime juice. It’s perfect for sipping on a warm spring day, and bartenders are experimenting with different types of tequila and adding jalapeno or cucumber to give the drink a modern spin.

The Old Fashioned, like its name, has been around for over a century. The Old Fashioned is a simple drink that combines whiskey, sugar, bitters, and a citrus peel. It’s a sophisticated drink that’s perfect for any time of year.
