Remember the Maine

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

Boozy

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

Anise

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 layered flavors that reveal themselves over multiple sips, often built from many modifiers or aged components.

Complex

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