Shots and ounces · 1 shot = 1½ oz = 4-second pourCounts

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

How to remember it

Scotch on Scotch: Drambuie is a honeyed Scotch liqueur, so the nail rusts gold. Swap it for amaretto and you've made the Godfather.

Compare with Godfather

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: Godfather, Godmother, Godchild, 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.

Builds your own list to quiz yourself on.
