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.

The similarities between the first five drinks here are obvious, but you should also pay attention to the following two, and to the band of three that follow them. The Caricature Cocktail makes a bridge for liqueurs to be introduced to this family, and the remaining drinks omit any fruit juices but remain fairly closely bound.
Definition: French-Italian drinks contain a distilled spirit and sweet or dry vermouth, sometimes both. They can be modified by other ingredients.

You should pay attention to a number of aspects in these formulas.

Also of note here are the similarities between Deadly Sin, created by a Spanish cocktailian, and the Millennium Manhatten, a creation of Mardee's and mine. Both drinks were conceived independently, but we all went in the same direction. The same thing happened with the Black Feather and the CEO Cocktails, the first created by Robert Hess, the second by Dr. Cocktail.

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.

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.

Beer- And Cider-Based Mixed Drinks
Beer- and cider-based mixed drinks contain beer or cider; it doesn't matter what ratio the beer or cider has to any other ingredient or groups of other ingredients.
Bottled cocktails are mixed drinks made for gatherings and parties, usually in advance of the event. Water should be added to the recipe to compensate for the lack of ice meltage present in cocktails mixed in a shaker or mixing glass.
Champagne Cocktails are drinks that contain champagne or any other sparkling wine, no matter what ratio the champagne has to any other ingredient or groups of ingredients.
Cobblers call for a base liquor and a sweetening agent, such as simple syrup, grenadine, or a liqueur; they are built in glasses filled to the brim with crushed ice and are garnished with an abundance of fruits.
Duos are composed of two ingredients, usually a base spirit and a liqueur, and are normally served in an old-fashioned glass. Trios are Duos to which cream or a cream liqueur has been added.
French-Italian drinks contain a distilled spirit and sweet or dry vermouth, sometimes both. They can be modified by other ingredients.
Frozen drinks, made in an electric blender, call for enough ice to achieve a semisolid consistency after being thoroughly blended.
