Alcohol sales have gone up during the coronavirus pandemic, and people have been flocking to services like Drizly and other alcohol door delivery apps and websites to avoid having to visit the liquor store during lockdowns and quarantines.

Google has also seen a big jump in searches for cocktail recipes, ostensibly because when you’re at home drinking more, you might get a little bored with the same old concoction and decide it’s time to spice up your Whiskey Sour into a Lion’s Tail. Roar!

The search engine sent out a list of the most “uniquely searched cocktails" by state. This doesn’t mean the most searched for cocktail by state, but the one that state is searching for significantly more than other states.

New Yorkers are searching for exactly what you’d expect them to: a Manhattan. Although, we have to dock points for creativity. Come on guys, Montana’s over there looking up Blue Hawaiians.

Here’s the full list of what all 50 states and Washington, D.C., are drinking on lockdown:
