National

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 evoking the tropics through pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, mango, or guava. Often rum-based and associated with beach, tiki, and vacation styles.

Tropical

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

Balanced

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.
