Santiago

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 where lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit drive the flavor. Citrus notes add brightness, acidity, and aromatic zest to a drink.

Citrus

Cocktails where sugar, syrup, or sweet liqueurs take the lead. These drinks are often dessert-like or approachable, with richness softening stronger spirits.

Sweet

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