By Flavour

Sour Cocktails

Sharp, tart drinks where acid genuinely leads the flavor, distinct from Citrusy in degree — this is where the tartness itself is the dominant, defining note rather than just one bright element among several.

Whiskey

Whiskey Sour

Bourbon, fresh lemon, and simple syrup, dry-shaken with egg white for a texture that's closer to silk than juice.

Rum

Classic Daiquiri

Three ingredients, no garnish, nothing to hide behind — this is the one that tells you if a bar knows what it's doing.

Gin

Gin Rickey

No sugar, no syrup — just gin, lime, and soda.

Tequila/Mezcal

Tequila Rickey

The Rickey format's agave version — dry, tart, no sugar.

Vodka

Vodka Rickey

The cleanest, most neutral Rickey on this site.

Whiskey

Bourbon Rickey

The Rickey's original spirit — before gin became the more common modern version.

Rum

Rum Rickey

Rum's warmth, the Rickey's total dryness.
