GQ has gone on a search for the 20 Best Cocktails in America and came up with an impressive list. Some of the drinks are classics, while others, like the Strawberry-Rhubarb-Basil-Balsamic Mojito, sound exciting and fun. We figured we would list out GQ’s findings, even though not all of the drinks are girly drinks, but because it’s a fun list and I wouldn’t mind testing out each of these drinks – for research, of course.
I guess we’ll have to get started on our own list of the Top 20 Bar Drinks considering this list is geared towards men, but it will do just fine for now:
