The Negroni , the Aperol Spritz , and the Martini have dominated in recent years, but with trends changing at the drop of a dime, its impossible to predict which cocktail will fall into hands most often for the next 12 months. Despite the difficulty in forecasting the drink of 2025, bartenders can certainly hope to make some drinks more often.

The connotation of the word may lend itself to a certain aesthetic or ideal, perhaps even a set of rules for how to comport oneself, but that’s all superfluous to the idea of explicit illicitness. As Merriam Webster defines it , a speakeasy is a place where alcoholic beverages are illegally sold.
