I was able to find 37 lists. I took the 37 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every cocktail. I ended up averaging the rankings each one got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.
The cocktails that were on the most lists (out of 37) were:
- Old Fashioned – 32 lists
- Margarita – 31 lists
- Negroni – 31 lists
- Manhattan – 31 lists
- Mojito – 28 lists
- Moscow Mule – 27 lists
- Bloody Mary – 25 lists
- Cosmopolitan – 25 lists
- Daiquiri – 24 lists
- Martini (Regular or Dry) – 21 lists
- Whiskey Sour – 21 lists
- Tom Collins – 21 lists
