Bensonhurst

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 with little residual sweetness, emphasizing spirit and botanical character. Dry drinks include classic martinis, bone-dry vermouth pours, and stirred, spirit-forward builds.

Spirit-forward cocktails where the alcohol is the main event, typically stirred builds on ice. Boozy drinks reward sipping.

Boozy

Cocktails with layered flavors that reveal themselves over multiple sips, often built from many modifiers or aged components.

Complex

Cocktails featuring almond, hazelnut, pecan, or walnut flavors, often via orgeat, amaretto, or nocino. Nutty notes add depth and a toasted richness.
