Old Fashioned

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

Rich

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