dry white wine

crème de cassis

Cocktails featuring strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, or cranberry. Berry drinks carry a jammy sweetness and deep color.

Berry

Cocktails with prominent non-citrus fruit character, such as apple, pear, peach, or cherry. Fruity drinks can range from delicate and floral to bold and jammy.

Fruity

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

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