Three-Ingredient Cocktails
2429 recipes. Short recipes, nothing to measure twice, no special bottles.
Nearly every cocktail worth knowing has three ingredients or fewer. A Negroni, a Daiquiri, a Margarita, an Old Fashioned and a Gimlet are all three or less, and the four-ingredient drinks usually turn out to be one of those with something added.
Short recipes are also where technique shows. With three ingredients there is nothing to hide behind, so the ratio, the ice and the dilution are the entire difference between a good version and a bad one.
This is the right list to build a home bar from. Pick three drinks here that share a bottle and you have a bar that makes all of them.
