Americano

Cocktails with a pronounced bitter backbone, typically from amari, Campari, gentian, or bitters. Bitter drinks stimulate the appetite and pair especially well with other bold flavors.

Bitter

Cocktails finished with sparkling wine, soda, tonic, or ginger beer. Effervescence adds lift, a dry edge, and a refreshing feel.

Effervescent

Cocktails designed to cool and revive — light, bright, and often long. Refreshing drinks shine in summer and warm weather.

Refreshing

Lower-proof, often bitter cocktails served before a meal to whet the appetite. Think spritzes, vermouth-based drinks, and Campari builds.
