10 Easy Cruise-Inspired Cocktails
Just because our summer holiday plans have been put on hold because of the current global health situation doesn't mean we can't sip cocktails in our gardens and daydream of exotic destinations.
We Brits do love our cocktails - from espresso martini to a lunchtime bloody Mary, cocktail recipe searches on the internet have been skyrocketing during the lockdown.
Scenic Cruises have analysed the latest Google trends to uncover the most searched for cocktails in the UK, Europe and across the globe. You can find out how your favourite cocktail ranks in The World's Favourite Cocktails Revealed.
