How to remember it

Mint stings: white menthe gives brandy its cold bite. White, never green, so the drink stays clear as glass.

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: Chocolate Martini, Apple Martini, Hazelnut Martini, Raspberry 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.
