Martini Any combination between a spirit and a fortified wine can be considered a martini- style cocktail. Cause a manhattan is just a sweet whisky martini isn't it? Usually spirit forward and served without ice, these drinks all have a similarity in their style and effect.
Sours Everything that's a combination of a spirit, a sour and a sweet! The easiest combination to make cocktails that inspired so many different cocktails. A gin daisy is just a daiquiri with different ingredients, but it follows the same principle. In this category you can find all sour style cocktails that follow a certain pattern.
Old Fashioned Spirit, sugar, bitter. The old fashioned way to make a cocktail. This combination of flavours can be found in many different varieties, but always comes down to the same thing and is a tried and tested style of making cocktails. No wonder it is the old fashioned way of making a mixed drink, since it almost always works.
Highball One part spirit, two parts mixer. Sounds simple, but has endless applications. From a simple Cuba Libre to collins style drinks, they all use the pattern of a big spirit base with a light mixer.
Punch 1 of sour, 2 of sweet, 3 of strong, 4 of weak. A timeless rhyme to make mixed drinks before mixed drinks were a thing and an easy way to make anything taste good.
