Citrus cocktails
Citrus cocktails are all about brightness and lift: lemon, lime, orange and their sweeter cousins sharpen the edges of a drink, keep the sugar in check, and make the whole glass feel fresher. The Margarita shows how citrus can carry a drink built on tequila and salt, while the Bee's Knees leans softer and sweeter, with gin softened by honey and lemon.
In this list of 686 cocktails, you can compare base spirit, strength, format, technique and flavour direction, from short shaken sours to longer spritzes like the Limoncello Spritz and easy mixed drinks for warmer days.
