Cocktails with a rich, velvety mouthfeel from cream, coconut cream, eggs, or dairy liqueurs. Creamy drinks feel indulgent and often serve as dessert.

Creamy

Cocktails with distinct vanilla character, whether from aged spirits, vanilla syrups, or liqueurs. Vanilla notes soften and round out a drink.

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