By Flavour

Herbaceous Cocktails

Savory, green, botanical-forward drinks built around fresh herbs, garden vegetables, or a spirit's own herbal character (gin especially). These read as fresh and slightly savory rather than sweet, and pair naturally with citrus or spice.

Rum

Classic Mojito

Mint, lime, crushed ice, rum — the drink that reminds everyone why rum exists.

Vodka

Vodka Martini

Two ingredients, total precision — the drink that's really about the ratio, not the recipe.

Gin

Butterfly Effect

Starts deep blue. Squeeze the lime — it shifts to indigo-purple, right in the glass.

Whiskey

Sazerac

An absinthe-rinsed glass, rye, and Peychaud's bitters — one of America's oldest named cocktails, still made exactly this way.

Brandy/Cognac

Champs-Élysées

Cognac, green Chartreuse, and lemon — a Sidecar's more herbal, more serious cousin.
