COCKTAIL INDEX · 497 OF 497
Ginジン · 25%Bitterness arrives first, followed by orange peel, herbs and the pine-like character associated with gin. The texture sits between lean and rounded, while the finish stays firmly bittersweet. Choose it if you enjoy assertive aperitivo drinks; a Boulevardier moves the same idea toward whiskey warmth and extra weight.苦い、ハーバル。ジンをベースに、度数は約25%です。シャルキュトリとの相性も楽しめます。
Vodkaウォッカ · 18%Roasted coffee and sweetness lead, followed by enough bitterness to keep the Espresso Martini from reading simply as dessert. Shaking gives it a fuller, creamy-feeling texture even without making it heavy. It is an easy after-dinner choice for coffee drinkers, whereas a White Russian is richer and more overtly creamy.コーヒー、甘い。ウォッカをベースに、度数は約18%です。ティラミスとの相性も楽しめます。
Whiskeyウイスキー · 32%An Old Fashioned puts the whiskey at the centre rather than hiding it behind juice or bubbles. Expect measured sweetness, aromatic spice and orange over a broad, warming texture. This is one for slow sipping and for drinkers comfortable with spirit-forward cocktails; compared with a Manhattan, it is less wine-like and more directly focused on the base spirit.力強い、スパイシー。ウイスキーをベースに、度数は約32%です。ステーキとの相性も楽しめます。
Tequilaテキーラ · 22%Lime-led acidity shapes the first sip of a Margarita, with agave and orange notes softening the edges. It is lively rather than sugary, and the salt rim can make the citrus taste even sharper. A good choice for sour-cocktail drinkers, especially with tacos or ceviche; a Tommy’s Margarita usually shifts attention away from orange liqueur and toward agave sweetness.酸味、爽やか。テキーラをベースに、度数は約22%です。タコスとの相性も楽しめます。
Aperitivoアペリティーボ · 11%Orange, gentle bitterness and sparkling lift define an Aperol Spritz. Its low strength and light body make it better for an extended aperitivo than for slow, concentrated sipping. Choose it when you want something sociable and easy before dinner; an Americano is less fruity and more herbal, while staying in the lower-alcohol aperitivo family.苦い、オレンジ。アペリティーボをベースに、度数は約11%です。オリーブとの相性も楽しめます。
Vodkaウォッカ · 18%Rather than leading with sweetness, fruity, sweet and floral across a lean, light body. The drink is moderate in strength and fairly approachable. Spicy food is a sensible food match when you want to order it at the table. Its finish keeps the vodka base in view, even when the opening flavours feel more immediate. For context, its listed food matches begin with Spicy food and Seafood, and its related-drink path leads to Long Island Iced Tea.フルーティー、甘い。ウォッカをベースに、度数は約18%です。辛い料理との相性も楽しめます。
Vodkaウォッカ · 17%The profile opens on fruity, sweet and silky across a broad, weighty texture. The drink is moderate in strength and fairly approachable. The finish makes more sense for slow tasting than for drinking quickly. This makes it useful for comparing how vodka behaves in a mixed drink rather than tasting it neat. If you want to compare it, look next at Moscow Mule; for food, the catalogue starts with Chocolate and Cheesecake.フルーティー、甘い。ウォッカをベースに、度数は約17%です。チョコレートとの相性も楽しめます。
Rumラム · 12%Mint aroma reaches you before the Mojito’s mix of lime, gentle sweetness and soda. The drink is light-bodied, cooling and designed for easy drinking rather than concentrated strength. It is useful when you want rum without the weight of a tropical cocktail; compared with a Daiquiri, it is longer, fizzier and more herbal.爽やか、ハーバル。ラムをベースに、度数は約12%です。セビーチェとの相性も楽しめます。
Vodkaウォッカ · 17%For someone who enjoys fruity, sweet and tropical across a lean, light body. The drink is moderate in strength and fairly approachable. Choose it when a vodka base and a lean, light body sound appealing. It rewards attention to the change from the first flavour to the finish, not only the headline ingredients. The index points toward Desserts or Soft cheese at the table; Vodka Soda is the nearest place to continue exploring.フルーティー、甘い。ウォッカをベースに、度数は約17%です。デザートとの相性も楽しめます。
Tequilaテキーラ · 21%Spicy Margarita suits someone looking for spicy, sour and citrus rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it fairly approachable. Compared with Chili Margarita, it leans toward a different balance. The spicy character remains noticeable into the finish rather than disappearing after the first sip. For context, its listed food matches begin with Tacos and Grilled prawns, and its related-drink path leads to Chili Margarita.スパイシー、酸味。テキーラをベースに、度数は約21%です。タコスとの相性も楽しめます。
Tequilaテキーラ · 22%Tommy's Margarita suits someone looking for sour, citrus and agave rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it fairly approachable.

Whiskeyウイスキー · 18%Citrus acidity comes first in a Whiskey Sour, then whiskey, sweetness and a softening silky texture. It has enough structure to satisfy a whiskey drinker without feeling as forceful as an Old Fashioned. This is an accessible bridge into brown-spirit cocktails, especially with fried food; a New York Sour adds a fruitier wine layer.酸味、なめらか。ウイスキーをベースに、度数は約18%です。揚げ物との相性も楽しめます。
Liqueurリキュール · 15%Amaretto Sour suits someone looking for sweet, sour and nutty rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it fairly approachable. Compared with Applecar, it leans toward a different balance. The final impression is driven more by nutty than by simple sweetness. The index points toward Tiramisu or Blue cheese at the table; Applecar is the nearest place to continue exploring.甘い、酸味。リキュールをベースに、度数は約15%です。ティラミスとの相性も楽しめます。
Champagneシャンパン · 8%Bellini suits someone looking for fruity, sweet and sparkling rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it very easy to drink.

CachaçaCachaça · 22%Caipirinha suits someone looking for citrus, fresh and strong rather than a generic sweet cocktail. Its lean, light body makes it very easy to drink.
