Liquor-themed Cocktail Hour: Whiskey, Gin, Bourbon, Rum

Last Updated: July 18, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)

We thought we would create a list of the best songs about mixed drinks, cocktails, or whatever you wish to call them. We are leaving out songs about beer and songs about wine. You will see those on other song lists.

You will find below songs about tequila, bourbon, scotch, whiskey, margarita, southern comfort, rum, gin, Champagne, and pina colada. I tried to include different music genres including Rock, Country, Vocal, and Hip Hop.

My top cocktail songs also date back to the Andrews Sisters in 1945 to today.
