Up-to-Date

Cocktails featuring almond, hazelnut, pecan, or walnut flavors, often via orgeat, amaretto, or nocino. Nutty notes add depth and a toasted richness.

Nutty

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

Lower-proof, often bitter cocktails served before a meal to whet the appetite. Think spritzes, vermouth-based drinks, and Campari builds.
