The Best Cocktail & Drinks Posters for Your Home Bar, Kitchen and Bar Cart — UK Guide

Quick answer: The best cocktail posters for a UK home bar are the drinks people actually order — Negroni, Porn Star Martini, Pimm's, Amaretto Sour, Caipirinha and Guinness are the six most requested prints in the 98types drinks collection, each rendered as minimalist typographic and colour-led wall art from £3, available in A3–A6.

There is a version of home decor that tells people who you are without saying a word. The books on the shelf, the prints on the wall, the objects arranged on the kitchen counter — these choices accumulate into something that functions as a self-portrait. Few things express personality quite as clearly as a well-chosen drinks print: the cocktail you always make for guests, the beer you grew up watching someone pour with ceremony, the British classic that signals exactly where your loyalties lie on a warm June afternoon.

At 98 Types Studio, we design minimalist drinks and cocktail posters that work as genuine wall art rather than simple pub décor. Each print is designed around the character of the drink itself — its history, its aesthetic, the specific pleasure it represents — and printed on premium quality paper from A6 to A3. Whether you're fitting out a home bar, decorating a kitchen, styling a bar cart or buying a gift for someone who takes their drinks seriously, this is your guide to the full cocktail collection.

What Makes a Great Drinks Poster?

The best drinks wall art does two things simultaneously: it looks good on the wall, and it means something to the person looking at it. A Negroni poster is not simply decoration for someone who genuinely loves Negronis — it is a small declaration of taste and character. A Pimm's print is not just a summer theme in a conservatory — it is an affirmation of a very specific kind of Britishness. A Guinness poster in a home bar or kitchen is not décor — it is a statement of loyalty.

This is why minimalist design works particularly well for drinks art. A maximalist cocktail poster tries to show everything: the glass, the garnish, the bar, the setting, the lifestyle. A minimalist print distils the drink to its essence — colour, geometry, mood — and trusts the viewer to bring the rest.

Our cocktail posters are available in A3, A4, A5 and A6, printed on premium quality paper with a matte finish that eliminates glare and gives colours genuine depth. From £3 per print. Buy 3 get 1 free. Fast UK delivery — most orders dispatched within 24 hours.

The 98types Cocktail Collection — Every Drink Reviewed

Amaretto Sour — The Sophisticated Choice

The Amaretto Sour occupies a specific position in the cocktail world: the drink of someone who has moved beyond the basics but hasn't disappeared into the obscure. Sweet from the almond liqueur, tart from fresh lemon, silky from the egg white that gives it its characteristic foam — it's a cocktail that rewards the people who order it with something genuinely excellent rather than obviously predictable.

Created in the 1970s as a variation on the whiskey sour, it has been refined over decades into one of the most reliably satisfying cocktails on any serious drinks menu. The modern version — fresh lemon rather than sour mix, a proper egg white, a quality amaretto — is a genuinely different drink from the sugary version you might remember from the 1990s.

The 98types Amaretto Sour poster works beautifully in kitchens, home bars and dining rooms, and is one of our most popular cocktail gift choices. Best paired with: our Negroni poster — both represent cocktails of real character and sit beautifully together on a kitchen wall or bar cart shelf.

Caipirinha — Brazil in a Glass

Brazil's national cocktail is, by almost universal consensus, one of the best drinks ever created. Cachaça — sugarcane spirit, not rum — muddled with fresh lime and sugar over crushed ice: a drink of absolute economy. Three ingredients, each essential, none replaceable.

The name comes from the Brazilian Portuguese word for "countryside dweller" — a caipira. The drink spread from Brazil to the beach bars of coastal Europe in the 1990s, then to cocktail bars worldwide in the 2000s, and has been a staple of every serious drinks menu since.

The 98types Caipirinha poster brings tropical energy to any space in clean, minimalist form. It works particularly well as part of a cocktail gallery wall alongside global drinks — the Negroni representing Italy, the Caipirinha representing Brazil, the Porn Star Martini representing London bar culture.

Guinness — Not a Cocktail. Something Better.

Technically, Guinness doesn't belong in a cocktail collection — it's the Irish dry stout brewed at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin since Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the site in 1759. But a drinks collection that takes pleasure seriously while excluding Guinness is making an error. It is not simply a beer. It is a ritual, a culture and one of the great sensory experiences in the world of drink.

The two-part pour — the initial 45-degree fill, the settling, the top-up — actually produces a better pint. The cascade of nitrogen bubbles falling through the glass before the cream-coloured head settles is one of the most hypnotic sights in all of drinks culture.

The 98types Guinness poster is ideal for home bars, kitchens with a pub sensibility, games rooms and man caves — one of our most popular gift choices for rugby fans, Irish culture enthusiasts and serious beer drinkers.

Negroni — The Perfect Cocktail

The Negroni is, by the consensus of bartenders worldwide, the nearest thing to a perfect cocktail: equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari, stirred with ice, served over a large ice cube with an orange peel. Three ingredients. One stir. No shortcuts. The recipe hasn't changed since Count Camillo Negroni allegedly asked a Florentine bartender to strengthen his Americano with gin rather than soda water in 1919.

Negroni Week, established in 2013, is one of the most celebrated events in the global cocktail calendar, and the Negroni Sbagliato went viral in 2022 — but the original, properly made, remains the benchmark against which every variation is measured.

The 98types Negroni poster is our most sophisticated cocktail print and one of our most popular overall. The deep ruby of the drink, rendered in minimalist form, looks exceptional on kitchen walls, in dining rooms, beside cocktail cabinets or as a centrepiece in a home bar gallery wall.

Pimm's — The Most British Drink in Existence

There are drinks that taste of a season, and Pimm's No. 1 Cup tastes of the whole of the British summer — strawberries, cucumber, mint and lemonade, poured on a warm afternoon in a British garden where everyone has quietly decided not to go back to work until the jug is finished.

James Pimm created his ginger-infused gin-based cup in his London oyster bar in the 1840s. Wimbledon alone sells around 300,000 portions per tournament, and Pimm's is a fixture of the Chelsea Flower Show, Henley Royal Regatta, Ascot and every village fête in between.

The 98types Pimm's poster brings the spirit of the British summer into any space permanently — ideal for kitchens, conservatories, garden rooms and dining rooms, and an outstanding gift for anyone who considers themselves an enthusiast of British summer living.

Porn Star Martini — Britain's Most Ordered Cocktail

If you've been to a cocktail bar in the UK in the past twenty years, you've almost certainly sat at a table where someone ordered a Porn Star Martini. Created by Douglas Ankrah at the Townhouse bar in London in the early 2000s, it became, within a decade, the most ordered cocktail in the UK.

Vanilla vodka, Passoa, fresh passion fruit and vanilla sugar syrup, with a shot of Prosecco served on the side — the passion fruit's tropical tartness balanced by vanilla's warmth, the Prosecco adding a textural counterpoint. A drink designed to delight rather than challenge, and it delivers on that brief with total consistency.

The 98types Porn Star Martini poster is glamorous, playful and unapologetically British — one of our most popular gift choices for cocktail enthusiasts, hen do organisers and anyone who loves a night out.

How to Build the Perfect Cocktail Gallery Wall

Start with three. The magic number for a cocktail gallery wall is three prints in a horizontal row — an A4 centrepiece flanked by two A5 prints, or three A4 prints evenly spaced. Three drinks also tells a story, and our Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer makes this the obvious starting point.

Choose by colour story. The Negroni's deep ruby, the Caipirinha's lime green and the Pimm's summer palette create a warm, richly coloured wall. The Amaretto Sour's amber and the Porn Star Martini's tropical warmth create a different but equally coherent combination. The Guinness print — black and cream — works as an anchor in any colour scheme.

Consider the room. For a garden room or conservatory: Pimm's and Caipirinha. For a kitchen with a home bar feel: Negroni, Amaretto Sour and Porn Star Martini. For a dedicated bar room or man cave: Guinness anchors the wall with real authority.

Frame consistently. A simple black frame unifies a gallery wall with a clean, contemporary look. Natural wood frames suit the warmer-toned drinks — Amaretto Sour, Pimm's, Porn Star Martini.

Cocktail Posters as Gifts — The Definitive Guide

Drinks posters are among our most consistently successful gifts, because they combine the personal (this is your drink, chosen specifically for you) with the practical (it looks excellent on the wall). Here is how to choose:

For the Negroni person — the friend who always orders the same thing and considers consistency a virtue: the Negroni print in A3, the most substantial statement in our cocktail collection.

For the Guinness drinker — the rugby fan, the Irish culture enthusiast, the person who always talks about the quality of the pint at their local: our Guinness poster, ideally in a black frame.

For the cocktail enthusiast who has everything — the three-print gallery wall set: Negroni, Amaretto Sour and Caipirinha represent three cocktail traditions (Italian, American, Brazilian) and look exceptional together.

For a birthday or housewarming — the Pimm's or Porn Star Martini print makes an outstanding, immediately personal gift. If you know what they'd order at a bar, you know which print to buy.

For Mother's Day — the Pimm's print or the Caipirinha, both carrying a holiday warmth that makes them genuinely thoughtful rather than generic.

All prints are available in A3, A4, A5 and A6. Printed on premium quality paper with a matte finish. From £3 per print. Buy 3 get 1 free. Fast UK delivery.

Yes. 98types is a UK-based studio offering fast UK delivery with most orders dispatched within 24 hours, plus international shipping.

The Bottom Line

The best wall art tells people something true about the person who chose it. A well-curated cocktail gallery wall — Negroni beside Caipirinha beside Amaretto Sour — says something specific: that this is a person with genuine taste, who thinks about what they put in a glass with the same care they give to what they put on their walls. A Pimm's print in a conservatory in July says this is someone who knows how to host. A Guinness poster in a home bar says some things don't need to change.
