Easy cocktails
Short ingredient lists, familiar bottles, and simple stirred or shaken builds, sized for a home bar with no obscure liqueurs or specialty tools required.
Start here
These easy cocktails stay inside a basic home setup: three or four ingredients, common spirits, citrus, sugar, and maybe one liqueur or bitter. No infusions, no clarifications, no equipment beyond a shaker, a strainer, and a jigger. Built to come together in under 3 minutes once the ice is in. For a stirred-and-poured night, the Whiskey Collins, Vodka Cocktail, and Sir Walter Cocktail land first. Simple Softly, Irish Cocktail, and Vowel Cocktail keep things gentle and balanced. Between The Sheets, Clipper Cocktail, and Self-starter cover the classic citrus-shaken end, while Koolaid, Slow Comfortable Screw Against The Wall, and Apricot Mango Cocktail handle the louder, sweeter requests without adding complexity.
