Tequila Rickey

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

Citrus

Cocktails with little residual sweetness, emphasizing spirit and botanical character. Dry drinks include classic martinis, bone-dry vermouth pours, and stirred, spirit-forward builds.

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

Effervescent

Cocktails designed to cool and revive — light, bright, and often long. Refreshing drinks shine in summer and warm weather.

Refreshing

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.
