I live in MI where apparently the Moscow Mule is the most popular cocktail. Two data points:

 

1. I've never heard of a Moscow Mule.

2. I've never heard anyone order a Moscow Mule in a bar in MI.

Thanks for that. I just asked my 89-year old mom if she heard of the drink. She said she did but didn't know what was in it and had never had one.

Some friends and I had a bit of a fad for them for a bit. Complete with copper mugs. I can't remember ever ordering one at a bar, but a local street fair had a Hendrick Gin booth where they were serving Moscow Mules made with Hendricks. Yummy.

The article says that the "mint julep" is the most popular cocktail in Kentucky. Maybe on the first Saturday in May but not the rest of the time. I've had about three in my entire life and I drink like a fish.

 

The mint keeps getting in your teeth and the taste is, well, too minty.

 

For the perfect mint julep do this:

 

1. Wash hands with mint-scented soap. 2. Pour Makers Mark in a glass. 3. Drink

And I'd question that "most-searched-for-on-Google" equates to "most popular". It could mean "What the hell is that?" followed by "that sounds nasty" :-)

1. Wash hands with mint-scented soap. 2. Pour Makers Mark in a glass. 3. Drink

akin to someone describing a very dry martini: "Pour gin in a glass while staring at a picture of Antonio Benedetto Carpano, the man who invented vermouth". (Yes, I had to google that name.)

As expected with nearly all clickbait - so much wrong. Ha! Decent conversation starter, though.

I was born and raised in Texas. I was wondering if it might be the Frozen Margarita. It’s not. It is however a tequila based drink called a Paloma which is tequila and grapefruit juice. I have never heard of a Paloma, and I don’t like grapefruit the fruit except possibly when it has so much sugar on it that it might as well be a candied grapefruit. I can stomach a bit of grapefruit juice-but again I’d like to add some sugar. And yes I know grapefruit shouldn’t be eaten if taking certain medications.

 

We moved to Shreveport Louisiana when I was 4, and left when I was 6. To my best recollection I wasn’t a heavy drinker then. I thought the most googled drink might be a Hurricane. It’s not. It’s a Daquiri. But I’m fond of them-especially the strawberry ones at Chilis.

 

I’ve lived in Cincinnati, Ohio twice. Ohio’s drink is Long Island Ice Teas. If they are made well, I love them. My last one was a gosh-awful one about one year ago at a dive bar in West Seattle. But I don’t ever remember ordering one in Ohio. Last time I lived there I was on a Cider kick.

 

I currently live in the great PNW state of Washington. The drink here is gin and tonic. I dislike gin-or at least I did when I first tasted it 20 to 30 years ago. I’m not sure I’ve had it since.

 

I’m maybe moving back home to Texas fairly soon. I probably still won’t order a Paloma.

All those drinks have several ingredients - that's why they search for those and not bloody marys or screwdrivers or Bud light.
