User:Ɱ/List of duo and trio cocktails

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two-ingredient cocktails (duos) and three-ingredient cocktails (trios) make up a category of mixed drinks. A duo typically contains a spirit and a liqueur; a trio sometimes contains a creamy ingredient, commonly cream or Irish cream.

This family of drinks is named in Gary Regan's The Joy of Mixology. There is much variation in their ingredients, but their defining feature is that they are somewhat sweet due to their liqueur content.

Duos

A Black Russian cocktail
B and B
Cognac and Bénédictine
    • A "B and B" is made from equal parts of cognac (brandy) and Bénédictine. It is typically served on the rocks, but may also be served straight. The producers of Bénédictine market this cocktail ready-mixed under the label "B & B.";Black nail: Irish whisky and Irish Mist

Rusty nail
Scotch and Drambuie
    • A Rusty nail is made by mixing Drambuie and Scotch. Many prefer less Drambuie to decrease the sweetness of the drink. Scotch has a fairly biting and hot taste that is counterbalanced by the honeyed, herbal overtones of the Drambuie. A rusty nail can be served on the rocks in an old fashioned glass, neat, or "up" in a stemmed glass. It is most commonly served over ice. The Canadian whisky version of this drink is called a "Donald Sutherland" and substitutes rye whiskey for Scotch.
Stinger
Brandy and white crème de menthe
Vodka stinger

Widow's cork
Jameson Whiskey and amaretto
