How to remember it
A gimlet is a little drill: short and sharp. Just the spirit and lime, no liqueur at all, with a lime on the rim.
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: Bacardi Cocktail, Daiquiri, Whiskey Sour, Midori Sour
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.
