The Cocktail Families and the Templates They Give You

INT-MIX-1-3 · The Classics and the Yacht Bar Operation · INT-MIX-1-3.1 Cocktail Families and the Essential Classics

Cocktail families are templates — sour, spirit-forward, stirred, highball, flip, punch and tiki — and each gives a rule that generates drinks rather than a single recipe. The sour template, roughly 60 ml spirit to 30 ml citrus to 15 to 20 ml sweetener, covers most guest requests and can be tuned in either direction.
