When it comes to happy hour, every person has their go-to beverage that they can't pass up on the menu.
Reddit user u/-Constantinos- asked fellow drink enthusiasts: "What is the most overrated and underrated cocktail in your opinion?"
Here are some of the most memorable overrated and underrated cocktails from the thread. Take a look to see if you agree:
1.Overrated: Negroni
"I just don't see the hype personally."
2.Underrated: Sangria
"Commonly seen as just wine and juice. If you add in a liqueur of some kind or brandy/cognac, it can really be something special."
3.Overrated: Aperol Spritz
"Not bad for summer evenings, but there are so many better options with prosecco."
4.Underrated: Daiquiri
"Simple, always refreshing and yet overlooked."
5.Overrated: Dry martini
"Enjoy your chilled vodka, because you know they ain't ordering a gin one."
6.Underrated: Margarita
"As a well-executed cocktail rather than the artificial and overly sweet swill with sub-par gold tequila many people associate with that drink."
7.Overrated: Mai Tai
"I've only been one place that balanced this correctly because the typical recipes are flawed."
8.Underrated: Three Dots and a Dash
"Yes, it's, like, 10 ingredients, but it literally made me say "wow!" out loud the first time I made one."
9.Overrated: Manhattan
"Yeah, it's a good cocktail, but honestly, its popularity far outweighs the merits of the drink itself."
10.Underrated: Mr. Bali Hai
"The combination of coffee liqueur, pineapple juice, and rum is just divine."
11.Overrated: Moscow Mule
"It’s a staple that a lot of my friends love, and I think can be a refreshing option from time to time, but having it over and over really shows it can be a one-dimensional drink and hard to play around with."
12.Underrated: Army & Navy and Sidecar
13.Overrated: Any cocktail with prosecco
"I could be biased; however, as I'm a night person and most of the time I'm serving mimosas, I'm still trying to wake up."
14.Underrated: Japanese slipper
"Japanese slipper is criminally underrated in my opinion. Such a wonderful combination of flavors."
15.Overrated: Dirty vodka martinis
Warner Bros. / HBO / Via giphy.com
"Especially when they ask for it extra dirty. IMO go drink olive juice from the jar at home."
