Mexican Firing Squad

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 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 designed to cool and revive — light, bright, and often long. Refreshing drinks shine in summer and warm weather.

Refreshing

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