Dry drinks — FAQ
- What does dry mean in a drink?
- Dry describes drinks with restrained sweetness and a clean, crisp or tannic finish. Dry profiles are common in martini-style, aperitif, wine-based and spirit-forward cocktails where sweetness is deliberately limited.
- How does WhatDrink choose drinks for the Dry page?
- Drinks are selected from recipes with a canonical dry flavour tag and then ordered using recipe-quality and coverage signals. Inclusion reflects structured flavour evidence, not an editorial ranking of the best drinks.
