Slippery Nipple

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

Anise

Cocktails with a rich, velvety mouthfeel from cream, coconut cream, eggs, or dairy liqueurs. Creamy drinks feel indulgent and often serve as dessert.

Creamy

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

Sweet

Sweet, rich cocktails that stand in for dessert — cream-based, chocolate-forward, or built around sugar-forward liqueurs.
