Reform Cocktail

Cocktails with umami or salt-driven depth — brines, soy, tomato, or savory broths. Savory drinks are commonly associated with brunch.

Savory

Cocktails featuring almond, hazelnut, pecan, or walnut flavors, often via orgeat, amaretto, or nocino. Nutty notes add depth and a toasted richness.

Nutty

Cocktails with little residual sweetness, emphasizing spirit and botanical character. Dry drinks include classic martinis, bone-dry vermouth pours, and stirred, spirit-forward builds.

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