They were only together for about ten years, but the impact they made was so huge that they are still worshipped today, more than forty-four years after they disbanded in 1970. There are few bands that can compare to the awesomeness that was, and still is, The Beatles. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr changed the perspective the world had on music. The Fab Four made worldwide waves in music and are adored by men and woman alike, to this day. The term “Beatlemania” refers to the intense enthusiasm their fans had for them, and the frenzied and manic way said fans would behave. I know that I would have been one of those screaming, hysterical fans if I had been around before they were disbanded, an obsessed groupie following them everywhere they went, carrying an “I love you!” poster. By being so loved by the public it is only natural that they would have things named after them or their songs. Especially alcohol, mankind’s favourite beverage. I trawled the internet to find the top thirteen cocktails inspired by The Beatles. I didn’t give any measurements because I thought it would just limit you guys. Go ahead and use as much of whatever ingredients you want. So get mixing and enjoy your rocktails.
