Drinks today serve a variety of purposes, it is imperative for any party or a get-together to have drinks. Some even claim it helps soothes sorrows and worries, thus, becoming a vital part of our social culture.
TEQUILA
A distilled spirit made only from 100% blue agave plant, primarily grown around the city of Tequila, Mexico. Hence, most tequila distilleries are located in the surrounding area. This spirit can be produced only in the state of Jalisco and limited regions in the states of Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. Tequila is often consumed neat in form of shots, however, many of the premium tequilas are now sipped neat, in order to taste the flavor and to enjoy the liquor. Tequila may also be used to create cocktails, the most famous of which is the Margarita.
VODKA
Another prominent distilled spirit made of water and ethanol. Vodka is also made by distilling juices from various fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, and sometimes sugar or fruit. The distillation from sugar and fruit are also known globally as flavoured vodka. Before the 1940’s, vodka was consumed in countries such as Belarus, Poland, Russia, and Lithuania. The traditional vodkas are 40% alcohol by volume. The term ‘vodka’ is derived from the Slavic word voda (water) and is often believed to refer to vodka as little water due to its clear colour.
However, these days vodka plays a main ingredient in many cocktails including Bloody Mary, Screwdriver, Moscow Mule, White Russian, Black Russian and the James Bond favourite, Vodka Martini. It can also be consumed with soft drinks or is often great for mixing with gin and tonic.
