Cocktails Acidulé
Sour cocktails are all about brightness: sharp citrus, a little sweetness, and just enough structure to make the drink feel alive rather than merely tart. In this list, you can compare how that balance shifts from the creamy, almond-led Amaretto Sour to the fruitier Chambord Vodka Sour, with options like Green Tea and The Emerson showing how the same sour framework can lean in different flavour directions. Across 43 cocktails, you’ll find variations by base spirit, strength, shaking style, and occasion, from simple after-work drinks to more polished, spirit-forward serves.
