Sweet Martinez

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 with pronounced herbal or botanical character from mint, basil, sage, thyme, rosemary, Chartreuse, or herbal liqueurs. Herbal notes feel green, fresh, and aromatic.

Herbal

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