Duos and Trios is a family of mixed drinks. A duo contains a base spirit and a liqueur, while a trio additionally contains a creamy ingredient. This family of drinks is named in Gary Regan's The Joy of Mixology. While there is tremendous variation in the ingredients among the members of this family, the defining feature is that they are sweet due to the liqueur. Commonly used creamy ingredients are cream, creme de cacao, and Irish cream.

A Rusty Nail is a cocktail made from mixing Drambuie and Scotch, two favourites amongst drinkers without a sweet tooth. Many prefer less Drambuie to decrease the sweetness. It has a fairly biting and hot taste that is counterbalanced with the honeyed, herbal overtones of the Drambuie. It can be served in an old-fashioned glass on the rocks, neat, or "up" in a stemmed glass. It is most commonly served over ice. A Rusty Nail served without ice is sometimes called a Straight Up Nail.
