How to remember it
The name is the recipe card: whiskey plus mix. Here the whiskey is always bourbon, and it wears just a cherry, no lime.
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: Daiquiri, Midori Sour, Amaretto Sour, Bacardi Cocktail
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.
