ALL OF THESE DRINKS ARE MADE IN A BUCKET GLASS FILLED WITH ICE

How to remember it

Cuba brings the rum, and 'libre' is the lime: that squeeze of lime is the only thing that separates it from a plain rum and Coke.

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: Screwdriver, Harvey Wallbanger, Caribbean Breeze, Bocci

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.
