10 Alcoholic Drinks Loved by the Rich and Famous It takes a connoisseur to tell Aperol Spritz and Kir Royal apart. While the former is a sparkling wine cocktail, the latter is a champagne cocktail. Enjoying a glass of wine is anybody’s prerogative, but there are people whose choice speaks of their refinement and taste. The rich and famous too have their choices of drinks that are often a cut above the rest. Irrespective of the harms alcohol might do to the body and the mind, here we take a look at 10 such drinks loved by the rich and famous: 1. Gin and Dubbonet: Much loved by Queen Elizabeth II, this drink oozes royalty. It is specifically served with a slice of lemon and two ice cubes. Acting like an appetizer, its popularity soared after receiving her patronage. 2. Jack on the Rocks: The one-time favorite alcoholic drink of Sting, it remains one of the most popular alcoholic beverages even today. The sheen of the drink, which he loved and enjoyed during his younger days, hasn’t faded over the years and tops the list of aficionados. 3. Margarita: The name spells magic and tickles the taste buds of people who love musing on their cocktails. A favorite of Jennifer Aniston, this sweet and sour cocktail of tequila, triple sec and lemon juice packs a lot of punch with plenty of kick. 4. Gin and Tonic: A traditional cocktail with enough thump, so much so that it has found an admirer in J.K. Rowling for life. By far, it remains her favorite cocktail, brushing aside popular beliefs that she is fond of Butterbeer. 5. White Russian: It is quite unlikely for an American to love a drink with Russia in its name, but Kim Kardashian’s favorite cocktail is White Russian - vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream served with ice. She loves this cocktail as much as she loves to party and often finds solace in it. 6. Absinthe: When greats like Oscar Wilde and Pablo Picasso are besotted with the flavor of a cocktail, it needs no further eulogizing. A historic alcoholic drink, Absinthe had these two legends drool over it. Though found in most parts of the U.S., it is still illegal in the country. With a green glow, this alcoholic drink is a mild hallucinogen.
