Refreshing cocktails
Refreshing cocktails are the ones you reach for when you want brightness, lift and a clean finish rather than weight or richness. A Mojito brings mint, lime and a long, lively build, while a Mint Julep shows how cool, spirit-led drinks can still feel brisk and easygoing. Elsewhere in the list you’ll see everything from lighter highballs to sharper sours and more involved classics, so you can compare base spirit, strength, technique and flavour direction to find the style that suits the moment.
