An IBA Official Cocktail is one of several cocktails selected by the International Bartenders Association (IBA) for use in the annual World Cocktail Competition (WCC)[1] in bartending. As such, these mixed drinks are some of the most notable and frequently-made cocktails by professional bartenders around the world.

IBA Cocktails are measured in centilitres (cl) rather than the more commonly used millilitres (ml).[1] A rough equivalent for North America is to use 1 US Fluid ounce for each 3.0 cl.
