about the map

The homepage is an interactive chart of 50 widely known cocktails. Each drink is placed on two axes: sweet to bitter / dry (horizontal), and citrusy & refreshing to spirit-forward & boozy (vertical). Scores run from 0 to 100; 50 is the midpoint on each axis.

Popularity rank (#1 through #50) and the flavor coordinates are editorial choices in this dataset — they reflect how these classics are ordered and positioned for exploration on the map, not a live poll or a single external ranking list.

Filter by spirit, glass, method, strength, and flavor quadrant on the map. Tap a glass or a list row to open the recipe overlay. Separate pages on this site repeat the same data in plain text for search and sharing.
