Not surprisingly, favorite cocktails vary based on where you live. </blockquote><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><blockquote>In fact, based on a study conducted by London-based alcohol company Drinks House 247, which analyzed Google search interest data from every state in the last 12 months to determine which types of cocktails were the subject of the most searches, margaritas tend to be an East Coast favorite, while daiquiris reign supreme in the South. 'The study reveals not just the diversity of cocktail preferences across the United States, but also shines a light on the underlying alcohol of choice,' explained Reza Zadeh founder of Drinks House 247. 'From the cosmopolitan appeal of the cosmopolitan in Nevada, Rhode Island, and Utah, to the classic allure of the martini in Kentucky, it's clear that vodka is the country's most universally favored base liquor.' </blockquote><p> In Texas, the most preferred cocktail is the Daiquiri: </p><blockquote>"If there was ever a drink fit for one of those colorful paper cocktail umbrellas, it would be a daiquiri. In its simplest form, the refreshing beverage consists of rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup, but many flavored daiquiris also include fresh or frozen fruit. Our Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri, for example, is perfect for sipping poolside. Given how refreshing a daiquiri can be, it isn’t a shock that it’s the favorite drink in two states that can get pretty hot—Louisiana and Texas." </blockquote><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
