Answers.Text: Perhaps more accurately, the French likely renamed it because they have no reference to imperial measurements - they use the metric system which doesn't include the pound!

Body: <p>Is there a name for the class of cocktails where all ingredients are in equal proportions? For example, if I were to make a menu of things like a Corpse Reviver, Paper Plane, Last Word, etc. I'd like to title the menu with that term.

Comments.Text: I'd suggest creating a custom cocktail of equal proportions and simply naming it something to your liking... I am just guessing but something like naming a method for making cocktails with equal proportions is so general, and so rare, that the name would likely never stick.

  Is there a name for the class of cocktails where all ingredients are in equal proportions? For example, if I were to make a menu of things like a Corpse Reviver, Paper Plane, Last Word, etc. I'd like to title the menu with that term. I think "Perfect Cocktail" is fitting but I know that's for equal parts sweet and dry vermouth.

  **Is there a term for a cocktail made of equal proportions of its ingredients?**
  
  There seems to be no known terminology for a cocktail made with equal proportions of ingredients!
  
  However that can not stop one from coining such a phrase. I would suggest something like an **”Equal portioned cocktails!”**
  
  Do not call it an [**Equalizer**](https://www.johnniewalker.com/en-us/whisky-cocktails/equalizer/) because that is already a valid cocktail.
  
  If you make a cocktail of four equal portioned ingredients you could call it a **4 by 4 cocktail!**
  
  Take the pound cake as an example, called in French a **”quatre-quart”** (four-quarter).
