which cocktails are national drink of countries?
MOREThere are a few drinks that could be considered national drinks as they are so closely associated with their country of origin. In Mexico it would have to be tequila preferably in the form of a margarita. In Brazil caipirinhas made with the country's national spirit cachaça are the go-to choose. In the United States it would have to be whiskey particularly bourbon whiskey which is produced in Kentucky. And in Canada it would be maple syrup which is used in many cocktails and also as a flavouring for beer.
However, some countries do recognise them as their national drink, Caipirinha is the national cocktail of Brazil, while Pisco Sour is the national drink of Peru.

Amaretto usually contains a 21% to 48% Alcohol by Volume.
