There are times for elaborate drinks, and then there are times for 3-ingredient cocktails, the kind of drinks you can casually whip up after work while you cook dinner. These tried-and-true recipes require only a few bottles (at maximum) from your bar cart—and they’re so simple that you may find yourself learning the measurements by heart. Below, you’ll find our favorite 3-ingredient drinks—all easy cocktails that offer simple prep and clarity of flavor. (Readily available cocktail garnishes like twists don’t count against our total here—worst comes to worst, you could make these drinks without them.) Save these recipes in the Epi iOS app, because some days you feel like playing bartender, and other days you just want the shortest path to putting your feet up and sipping something tasty.
