By Flavour

Fruity Cocktails

Drinks driven by fresh or juiced fruit beyond citrus — berries, stone fruit, tropical fruit — generally sweeter and more immediately approachable than citrus-forward drinks, since the fruit itself supplies most of the flavor and body.

Whiskey

Juneteenth Bourbon Strawberry Cooler

Muddled strawberries, bourbon, and a soda top — a drink built for the table, not the bar.

Vodka

Cosmopolitan

Pink, tart, and better than its reputation — a real cocktail, not just a prop.

Gin

Bramble

A gin sour with a bruise-purple drizzle — as pretty as it is easy.

Aperitif/Liqueur

Sloe Gin Fizz

Sloe gin's fruity depth, given the classic Fizz treatment.

Vodka

Vodka Smash

The Smash format's lightest, fruitiest version.

Gin

Saturn

Gin, passion fruit, falernum, and orgeat, blended over crushed ice — a tiki cocktail that happens to run on gin instead of rum.

Vodka

Palm Springs

Vodka, pineapple, cranberry, and lime — four ingredients, zero fuss, straight beach-day energy.
