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

How to remember it

Brandy baby: B for baby, B for brandy. The child keeps the family amaretto that Father's Scotch and Mother's vodka carry.

Compare with Godfather, Godmother

Drink family: Duo · Spirit + liqueur, nothing else

Swap the spirit or the liqueur and you have the next Duo. Add cream and it becomes a Trio.

Same shape on your sheets: Rusty Nail, Godfather, Godmother, Chocolate Martini

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.
