How the recipes are written

Each recipe is a spec: exact measures, a glass, a method and numbered steps. Measures are for one drink in ounces, with a switch to milliliters and servings from 1 to 8. Batch recipes like punch and sangria say so.

Techniques link to Mixology 101, and each recipe links to the classic it riffs on. When a recipe was created with a specific brand’s bottle, it’s labeled “Made with” on the page.

Please drink responsibly

These recipes are for adults of legal drinking age. Many are spirit-forward, so measure rather than free-pour, and never drink and drive. Questions about a recipe? Send us a note.
