Asked bartenders to pick a cocktail for every World Cup team -- here's what they chose

The World Cup has prompted a global bar-hopping theme brought into home mixing, with recipes chosen based on input from bartenders and alcohol experts around the world. The article presents international cocktail ideas linked to competing nations, aiming to recreate popular drinks without traveling. One featured drink is “La Fuerza Spritz” for Argentina, built around 2 oz La Fuerza Blanco, 1 oz vino espumoso, 1 oz Aperol and 1 oz soda, with citrus garnish. The piece attributes Argentina’s vermouth and spritz culture to Italian influence and suggests mixing guidance such as a 70/30 vermouth-to-seltzer ratio. Another selection is Jamaica’s “Sun-Drenched Shandy,” combining 6 oz Red Stripe Lager, 4 oz jugo de Jamaica hibiscus/sorrel, and 2 oz ginger beer, plus an optional sea-salt rim and thick lime wedge.
