Bottoms up — the 10 best cocktails in the world for 2019 have been revealed.
The new ranking created by Time Out features 36 cocktails in total, spanning 27 cities and 18 countries.
Some of the tipples are simply classics done well, whereas others are creative new inventions that look more like art than drinks.
However, the list does reflect a shifting focus towards sustainability, with more and more bartenders making use of local ingredients.

The ranking was curated by Time Out's global network of local expert editors and contributors, who had the arduous job of drinking many, many cocktails as research.
James Manning, Global Projects Editor at Time Out, said: "It's thirsty work researching the best things to do in the world's greatest cities — so it's just as well that our global network of local editors and experts is well versed in where to find something great to drink.
"The tipples that they've picked for our curated list of the world's best cocktails show that there's never been a better time for adventurous drinkers, with local flavors and imaginative spins on the classics dominating the field.
"It shows that there's much more to mixology than turning out the perfect Martini — although that's on the list too."
Scroll down to see the 10 best cocktails in the world right now, ranked in ascending order:
10. The Sun Also Rises — The Old Man, Hong Kong
Named after a Hemingway novel, this spicy, green cocktail found at the Old Man is made with sweet vermouth prepared sous-vide with pandan leaves, curry leaf-infused gin, coconut oil-washed applejack, and kaffir lime.
9. Margarita OK! — Cantina OK, Sydney, Australia
The first of two Margaritas to make the top 10, mezcalaria Cantina OK's version is made with tequila and mezcal procured by the owners on their travels through Mexico, served over a mountain of shaved ice from an eye-catching bright yellow, hand-cranked machine.
8. Spiced Rusty Cherry — Red Frog, Lisbon, Portugal
This punchy cocktail found at speakeasy the Red Frog blends ruby port wine with Lisbon's signature ginjinha (wild cherry liqueur), a splash of Venezuelan rum, chocolate bitters, and smoked cinnamon.
7. Mirror Margarita — Hacha, London, UK
A Margarita, but make it completely transparent. Don't be deceived by the clarity of this cocktail found at east London "agaveria" Hacha — it has the same sourness and salinity you'd expect. "It tastes like the best Marg of your life," Time Out said.
6. Omiero — Hotel Casa Awolly, Mexico City, Mexico
This rum-based tipple is supposed to "open the gates of healing and protection," mixing the spirit with creamy, salty, homemade Castilla pumpkin butter, omiero (an aromatic blend of herbs), and lime. Whether that will really happen remains to be seen, but at the very least, Hotel Casa Awolly's floral concoction sure looks pretty.
5. No 1 Cup — The SG Club, Tokyo, Japan
What do you get when you merge a thoroughly British Pimm's with quintessentially Japanese single-serve sake? No 1 Cup. The effervescent, refreshing cocktail is served at the SG Club in a glass designed to look like the famous one-cup sake.
4. Searching For The Emerald Sea — The Aviary, New York, US
This highly Instagrammable gin-based beverage is found at one of New York's most innovative cocktail spots, the Aviary. Served in a see-through porthole, the drink changes color as the seasonal ingredients — which might include peaches, beet slices, and celery curls — infuse.
3. All Hail The Queen — The Baldwin Bar, Boston, US
Apologies to Queen Elizabeth II but the British monarch is not the queen in question in this cocktail — soul goddess Erykah Badu is in fact depicted in an intricate portrait which decorates the top of this smooth concoction of Tanqueray 10, olive oil, lime, chestnut, and egg white, created by the Baldwin Bar's self-taught master bartender Ran Duan.
2. Peranakan — Native, Singapore
This cocktail blends laksa leaves, candlenuts, and gula melaka (palm sugar), before being finished off with jackfruit rum and a garnish made from locally sourced goat's milk. Found at one-of-a-kind bar Native (which relies heavily on local, foraged ingredients), the drink was designed as an homage to the Peranakan Chinese cuisine of Penang, Malacca, and Singapore.
1. Aegean Negroni — The Clumsies, Athens, Greece
Time Out's experts described this shimmering blue negroni as "refreshingly bitter" and a reflection of the current revolution in Greek bartending. It's made with local ingredients such as Dittany (a herb which only grows on Crete) and can be found at Athens' most famous cocktail bar, The Clumsies.
