Pumped out of the backpack vacuum machine of a Ghostbuster? This lesser-known gem of a cocktail dates back to the 1930s and is made using a simple concoction of gin, lime and Chartreuse – a French herbal liqueur made by Carthusian monks since 1737.

A simple classic made using rye whisky, lemon juice and orange. Talk about those bittersweet memories over a Whisky Sour.

Drink to good ol’ Che! This cocktail (translating as ‘Free Cuba’) is named after the independence movement that led to the Cuban revolution. Surprisingly, it’s essentially just rum and coke with some lime juice to jazz it up. A drink of the people, then, which is apt in a way.
