Easy cocktails

Short shopping lists and simple builds — highballs and two-or-three ingredient drinks you can mix without a shaker routine.

Easy means a short method and a short bill of materials — not that the drink is unserious. Paloma, Mule, G&T, and Dark 'n' Stormy are the head of this list. Also available at /easy-cocktails.

Easy cocktail FAQ

What counts as an easy cocktail here?

Drinks tagged easy: typically build-in-glass highballs (spirit plus one mixer and citrus) rather than six-ingredient tiki or egg-white sours.

Do I need cocktail equipment?

A glass, ice, and a stirrer cover most of this list. Save the shaker for sours on the sour hub.
