Of particular note in this family is the bond that ties the Black and White Russians to the Mudslide. Could Bailey's be substituted for the cream in any of these Trios? It certainly looks that way. Definition: Duos are composed of two ingredients, usually a base spirit and a liqueur, and are normally served in an old-fashioned glass. Definition: Trios are Duos to which cream or a cream liqueur has been added. Note: Not all Duos can be made into Trios. Not all Trios start out as Duos. Item

This is, by definition, a simple family of drinks, and most of these formulas are obvious from the name of the drink. Note the lime juice in both the Gin Rickey and the Cuba Libre; it can be incorporated by squeezing extra wedges into the glass or by the addition of fresh juice, but it's an intergral part of both drinks. Definition: Highballs are built in highball glasses; they call for a base spirit and a mixer, such as soda or water.

Florida Highballs
It's easy to see how these drinks come together as a family. It's also quite obvious that if one were to start substituting different liqueurs in some of these drinks, the family could explode.

Sours: CHART 1
In this, the first of the Sour families, it's best to separate the drinks by base liquor--you can see at a glance how similar many of these drinks are. The curveball here is the Jack Rose, which I placed among the rums just to illustrate that it's a Bacardi Cocktail made with applejack as a base. Definition: Sours contain a base liquor, lime or lemon juice, and a non-alcoholic sweetening agent, such as simple syrup, grenadine, or pineapple juice. If a base of a sour is a liqueur, no additional sweetening agent is required.

This simple category is easy to remember. I named the drinks for the country or state most representative of the base spirit; the "squirrel," of course, is derived from the nutty flavor of crme de noyau.
