Ingredients: 2 oz rye whiskey; ½ oz Bénédictine; ½ oz lemon juice

A simple, elegant American classic named for San Francisco — rye's spice is gilded by the honey-and-herb sweetness of Bénédictine then sharpened with fresh lemon, making a drink that is far more complex than its three-ingredient count suggests.

Frisco Cocktail

Cocktails with pronounced herbal or botanical character from mint, basil, sage, thyme, rosemary, Chartreuse, or herbal liqueurs. Herbal notes feel green, fresh, and aromatic.

Herbal

Cocktails built on baking spices like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice, cardamom, or star anise. Warm-spiced drinks feel cozy and often appear around the holidays.

Warm-Spiced

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

Citrus

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