How to remember it

A sunset goes dark purple, not red: where the Sunrise sinks grenadine, the Sunset sinks blackberry brandy instead.

Compare with Tequila Sunrise

Drink family: Highball · Spirit + a tall mixer, over ice

Built in the glass: the spirit goes in first, the mixer fills it.

Same shape on your sheets: Cuba Libre, Screwdriver, Harvey Wallbanger, Caribbean Breeze

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.
