Monte Carlo

Spirit-forward cocktails where the alcohol is the main event, typically stirred builds on ice. Boozy drinks reward sipping.

Boozy

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 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 with a dense, syrupy, or full-bodied texture, often from sugar, amaro, or aged spirits. Rich drinks feel weighty on the palate.
