The States are full of iconic cocktails. From the Alabama Slammer to the Arkansas Razorback, each state has it's own drink that syncs up with its identity. This map shows exactly what kind of cocktail each state in the United States is renowned for.
There have been many questionnaires that look at what your favorite drink says about you, but what does a signature drink say for an entire population? In the US the diversity among States is one of the most defining factors and it shows in their choice of drink as well.
This map shows what each state's main drink is, and there's legitimate reasons why as well. For example, Nebraska boasts the Kool-Aid Caddy as it's iconic cocktail in honor of the creation of Kool-Aid in Nebraska.
