Tuxedo No. 2

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

Cocktails with layered flavors that reveal themselves over multiple sips, often built from many modifiers or aged components.

Complex

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