Daiquiri

Cocktails built around fresh citrus acidity, typically lemon or lime juice. Sours are bright, tart, and often balanced by simple syrup or a sweet liqueur.

Sour

Cocktails where lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit drive the flavor. Citrus notes add brightness, acidity, and aromatic zest to a drink.

Citrus

Cocktails that feel clean, dry, and snappy, often highlighting a single spirit with a light modifier. Crisp drinks are common in highballs and classic martinis.

Crisp

Cocktails where no single element dominates — the spirit, acid, and sweetness are in harmony. Classic sours and well-built stirred drinks often land here.
