Scotch and Soda

Cocktails that feel clean, dry, and snappy, often highlighting a single spirit with a light modifier. Crisp drinks are common in highballs and classic martinis.

Crisp

Cocktails finished with sparkling wine, soda, tonic, or ginger beer. Effervescence adds lift, a dry edge, and a refreshing feel.

Effervescent

Cocktails with heat-building character from aged spirits, spices, or hot builds. Warming drinks suit cold weather and fireside sipping.

Warming

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

Boozy

Cocktails that welcome newcomers — low in alcohol bite, balanced in sweetness, and easy to enjoy. Good for anyone new to cocktails.
