Monkey Gland

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

Citrus

Cocktails carrying licorice or anise character from absinthe, pastis, sambuca, or anise-forward liqueurs. Anise is polarizing and unmistakable.

Anise

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

Morning and midday cocktails — often with sparkling wine, juice, or savory elements — meant to drink alongside food.
