Cocktails where sugar, syrup, or sweet liqueurs take the lead. These drinks are often dessert-like or approachable, with richness softening stronger spirits.

Sweet

Cocktails with heat-building character from aged spirits, spices, or hot builds. Warming drinks suit cold weather and fireside sipping.
