How to remember it

A monkey can't choose, so it grabs two bottles, rum and vodka. Think of a Screwdriver that swung over to the rum shelf.

Compare with Screwdriver

Drink family: Highball · Spirit + a tall mixer, over ice

Built in the glass: the spirit goes in first, the mixer fills it.

Same shape on your sheets: Cuba Libre, Screwdriver, Harvey Wallbanger, Caribbean Breeze

Memory tricks are written for this app; only the acronym is printed on the sheet. Drink families are Gary Regan's, from The Joy of Mixology.
