Everyone has a favorite cocktail, that one drink you can't help but order, no matter what bar you visit. Some believe a person's favorite cocktail says a lot about them. Are you sweet? A little spicy? Maybe even an old soul?

Likewise, a state's favorite cocktail can say a lot about the people who live there. So, what's Nebraska's favorite drink? Guilty Eats is here to help us find out. They compiled a list of the most popular cocktails in every state and named the Moscow Mule as Nebraska's cocktail of choice. Here's what they had to say about the drink:
