Citrusy Cocktails
Classic citrusy cocktails — 24 recipes with exact ratios and step-by-step method.
Bee's Knees
A Prohibition-era gin sour sweetened with honey instead of sugar, brightened by lemon. The honey-syrup, gin, and lemon ratio scales linearly, making it a clean, reliable batch sour.
See recipe →Between the Sheets
A potent Sidecar variant splitting the base between brandy and rum with Cointreau and lemon — boozy yet balanced, well suited to batching since the spirit-heavy build holds up and dilutes predictably.

Caipirinha
Brazil's national drink: cachaça muddled with lime and sugar, built right in the glass over ice. The simple two-spirit-free spec batches easily by scaling cachaça and lime juice while sugar is dialed to taste.
See recipe →Corpse Reviver No. 2
An equal-parts gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and lemon sour with an absinthe rinse; the symmetrical spec is ideal for batching, with the absinthe applied to the glass per serve.
See recipe →Cosmopolitan
Vodka, cranberry, lime, and triple sec — elegant and easy to batch.
See recipe →Daiquiri
Rum, lime, sugar — deceptively simple, endlessly satisfying.
See recipe →Dark 'n' Stormy
Dark rum and ginger beer — a Caribbean classic with serious depth.
See recipe →French 75
Gin, lemon, simple syrup, topped with champagne — festive and elegant.
See recipe →Gimlet
Gin and lime — clean, tart, and excellent batched.
See recipe →Gin Fizz
A bright, effervescent gin sour topped with soda — the base mix batches easily, with soda added per glass to keep the fizz lively.
See recipe →Hemingway Daiquiri
A dry, tart twist on the daiquiri with grapefruit and maraschino cutting the sweetness — crisp and complex, batch the rum-liqueur base ahead and shake with fresh lime and grapefruit per serving.
See recipe →John Collins
The bourbon-based cousin of the Tom Collins; whiskey, lemon, sugar and soda make a refreshing highball whose spirit base batches easily ahead of soda topping.
See recipe →Long Island Iced Tea
Five base spirits plus triple sec, lemon and a cola top — deceptively strong despite tasting like iced tea. The fixed half-ounce pours per spirit make it a textbook case for batch scaling and dilution control.
See recipe →Margarita
The classic tequila sour — tart, bright, and endlessly batch-able.
See recipe →Mojito
Rum, mint, lime, and soda — refreshing and crowd-pleasing.
See recipe →Moscow Mule
Vodka, ginger beer, and lime — simple and refreshing.
See recipe →Paloma
Tequila and grapefruit — Mexico's most popular tequila cocktail.
See recipe →Paper Plane
A modern equal-parts classic of bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino and lemon, bittersweet and bright; the symmetrical build is ideal for large-format pre-batching.
See recipe →Pisco Sour
A frothy Peruvian sour of pisco, lime, and sugar lifted by egg white and finished with bitters; the spirit-citrus-sweet core batches well, with egg white whipped in per round for the signature foam.
See recipe →Ramos Gin Fizz
The famously fluffy New Orleans gin fizz with cream, citrus, egg white and orange flower water — labor-intensive to shake, so batching the liquid base saves real time behind the bar.
See recipe →Sea Breeze
A tart, refreshing vodka cooler layering cranberry and grapefruit juice; built straight in the glass over ice, it scales cleanly for a crowd with only one spirit driving the ABV.
See recipe →Sidecar
Cognac, triple sec, lemon — a Parisian classic that batches beautifully.
See recipe →Tom Collins
A tall, sparkling gin sour lengthened with soda; the citrus, syrup and soda mean batching the spirit base separately keeps the carbonation crisp at serve.
See recipe →Whiskey Sour
Bourbon, lemon, and sweetener — the essential American sour.
