Kick Back With A Vodka Martini, The Unofficial State Cocktail Of Connecticut
We all need to kick back and unwind. And sometimes, there’s no better way to do that than with a refreshing cocktail. Groupon did some research and compiled a list of every state’s favorite summer cocktail. Many states’ were obvious: Kentuckians love Mint Juleps and Texans enjoy mojitos. But Connecticut’s favorite cocktail may surprise you. According to their data, our favorite drink is the classy and delicious vodka martini. Read on to learn more about this iconic adult beverage.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life.

Some critics, however, think these beverages must be made with gin in order to truly qualify as a martini.
Of course, we wouldn't fault you for doing both.
If you're feeling extra creative, make a birthday cake martini with whipped vodka, amaretto, chocolate liqueur, and a sprinkle-coated rim.
The researchers at Groupon examined each state's cocktail-related Google searches for the last ten years, specially targeting the months of April to October. Then, they controlled for the drinks' overall popularity. So if Texas guzzles margaritas all year long, that refreshing drink is less likely to be their favorite summertime cocktail.
