Tasting individual (6 u.)

There are records of the term ‘cocktail’ dating back to 1798; it was on May 13, 1806, in The Balance and Columbian Repository, a newspaper in New York State, where the first written definition of the word appeared. It was in response to a reader’s query about an article asking, “What is a cocktail?”, to which the editor replied, “A cocktail is a stimulating alcoholic beverage composed of some variety of distillate, sugar, water, and bitters.”

• Margarita: with tequila, Cointreau, lemon, a touch of orange and salt.
• Sex on the Beach: Peach liqueur, vodka, orange juice, and cranberry juice. An unbeatable combination. Is it the worst name ever? We doubt it.
• Cosmopolitan: Originating in 1934, it was brought back into fashion thanks to the series ‘Sex and the City’ and its unique recipe of vodka, Cointreau, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
• Manhattan: a short drink made with whiskey, red vermouth, Angostura, cherry, and a touch of orange.
• Pisco Sour: Its recipe is considered a cultural heritage of Peru. It is a refreshing, acidic and intense cocktail due to its Pisco base.
• Strawberry Daiquiri: Without a doubt one of the most popular cocktail names, with a base of white rum, strawberry pulp, and a touch of citrus.

And now that you know the theory, it’s time to put it into practice…
