How to remember it

Picture Havana: Cuba means rum. The Daiquiri is the island's classic, served up in a martini glass with a lime wedge nodding to the Caribbean.

Drink family: Simple Sour · Base + citrus + a plain sweetener (sour mix)

Learn one sour and you know them all: only the base changes.

Same shape on your sheets: Whiskey Sour, Midori Sour, Amaretto Sour, Bacardi Cocktail

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.
