Yuzu Sour

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

Citrus

Cocktails with aromatic floral notes from elderflower, violet, rose, lavender, chamomile, or hibiscus. Floral drinks tend to feel delicate and perfumed.

Floral

Cocktails evoking the tropics through pineapple, coconut, passion fruit, mango, or guava. Often rum-based and associated with beach, tiki, and vacation styles.

Tropical

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