Cognac

Cognac ( kon-yak, also us: kohn-, kawn-, french: [kɔɲak] (listen)) is a variety of brandy named after the commune of cognac, france. it is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of charente and charente-maritime. cognac production falls under french appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. among the specified grapes, ugni blanc, known locally as saint-émilion, is most widely used. the brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in french oak barrels from limousin or tronçais. cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer "on the wood" than the minimum legal requirement.

Drink

Eggnog

Eggnog (), historically also known as a milk punch or an egg milk punch when alcoholic beverages are added, is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based beverage. it is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites (which gives it a frothy texture, and its name). distilled spirits such as brandy, rum, whisky or bourbon are often a key ingredient. throughout canada, the united states and some european countries, eggnog is traditionally consumed over the christmas season, from late october until the end of the holiday season. a variety called ponche crema has been made and consumed in venezuela and trinidad since the 1900s, also as part of the christmas season. during that time, commercially prepared eggnog is sold in grocery stores in these countries. eggnog is also homemade using milk, eggs, sugar, and flavorings, and served with cinnamon or nutmeg. while eggnog is often served chilled, in some cases it is warmed, particularly on cold days (similar to the way mulled wine is served warm). eggnog or eggnog flavoring may also be used in other drinks, such as coffee (e.g., an "eggnog latte" espresso drink) and tea, or to dessert foods such as egg-custard puddings.

Kefir

Kefir (also spelled as kephir or kefier, russian: кефир; adyghe: къундэпс; karachay-balkar: гыпы) ( kə-feer) is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt or ayran that is made from kefir grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. the drink originated in the north caucasus, in particular the elbrus region along the upper mountainous sections of circassia, karachay and balkaria from where it came to russia, and from there it spread to europe and the united states, where it is prepared by inoculating the milk of cows, goats, or sheep with kefir grains.the principal human benefit of consuming kefir, rather than the milk that it is produced from, is that adults often lose the ability to digest lactose and therefore may have difficulty or digestive problems absorbing the nutrients and minerals usually present in animal milk; kefir converts milk into a low-lactose beverage that still retains all of milk's nutritional benefits. the dense concentration of certain bacteria and yeast in kefir is also believed to aid digestion in much the same way that yoghurt does.the world's largest kefir producer is russia, followed by poland. kefir is a breakfast, lunch, and dinner drink popular across belarus, estonia, hungary, latvia, lithuania, poland, romania, russia, and ukraine - where it is known as an affordable health drink. it is also known in norway, sweden, and finland, where fermented milk drinks are common, such as surmjølk/surmjölk. kefir is common particularly among russian and estonian minorities) . in south slavic countries kefir is consumed at any time of the day, especially with zelnik/zeljanica, burek and banitsa/gibanica, as well as in cold soups served in the summer.

Malt beer

Malt beer is a sweet, low-alcohol beer (0–2.5% abv) that is brewed like regular beer but with low or minimal fermentation. to keep the alcohol content low, one of two methods may be used: either the yeast is added at about 0 °c (resulting in an alcohol content of under 0.5% abv) or fermentation is halted at the desired alcohol content (usually in the range of 1 to 2% abv). it is made from barley malt syrup, sugar, yeast, hops, and water.malt beer is considered to be nutritious and is sometimes given to nursing mothers. among the ancient egyptians, their form of malt beer (zythum) was considered to work as both a laxative and antidiarrheal; it was considered dangerous, however, for the sick or pregnant to drink it. malt beer is sometimes called "malta" or "wheat soda", but that term is properly reserved for the non-alcoholic but similarly tasting soft drink. several brands popularly referred to as malzbier in germany, austria and switzerland are actually types of malta. the same is true for such danish brands as tuborg supermalt and powermalt. in the united kingdom, danish malt drinks have become popular amongst the south asian community and have been sold in their dedicated supermarkets since the 1970s. after soft drinks, malt beer is one of the most popular beverages sold in iceland. the two main brands are egils maltextrakt (1.2% abv) and víking maltöl (0.9% abv). additionally, a seasonal hvítöl is available in the christmas month (2.2% abv). the icelandic malt beer was modelled on the danish maltøl, which is still brewed by at least one company in denmark.in southern brazil, with its large communities of german immigrants, a brand called brahma malzbier is very popular and it is mainly consumed during the winter months. in israel, brands include nesher malt, malt star and malti.varieties of malt beer are also popular in some caribbean countries. west african brands include guinness malt, amstel malt, maltex, and malteni. these are sold as energy drinks.

Gin and Tonic

A gin and tonic is a highball cocktail made with gin and tonic water poured over a large amount of ice. the ratio of gin to tonic varies according to taste, strength of the gin, other drink mixers being added, etc., with most recipes calling for a ratio between 1:1 and 1:3. it is usually garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. to preserve effervescence, the tonic can be poured down a bar spoon. the ice cools the gin, dulling the effect of the alcohol in the mouth and making the drink more pleasant and refreshing to taste.in some countries (like uk), gin and tonic is also marketed pre-mixed in single-serving cans. in the united states, most bars use "soda out of a gun that in no way, shape, or form resembles quinine water", according to bartender dale degroff. to get a real gin and tonic, degroff recommends specifying bottled tonic. alternatively, one can add tonic syrup to soda water.it is commonly referred to as a g and t in the uk, us, canada, australia, new zealand and ireland. in some parts of the world, it is called a gin tonic (e.g. in germany, italy, france, japan ( ジン・トニック, phonetically "jin tonikku"), the netherlands, spain, turkey). it is also referred to as "ginto" in belgium and the netherlands, and "gt" in scandinavia.

Drink

Kir

Kir is a popular french cocktail made with a measure of crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) topped up with white wine. in france it is usually drunk as an apéritif before a meal or snack. it was originally made with bourgogne aligoté, a white wine of burgundy, but today various white wines are used throughout france, according to the region and the barkeeper. many prefer a white chardonnay-based burgundy, such as chablis. it used to be called blanc-cassis, but it is now named after félix kir (1876–1968), mayor of dijon in burgundy. kir was a pioneer of the twinning movement in the aftermath of the second world war, and popularized the drink by offering it at receptions to visiting delegations. besides treating his international guests well, he was also promoting two economic products of the region. kir allowed one of dijon's producers of crème de cassis to use his name, then extended the right to their competitors as well. according to rolland (2004), the reinvention of blanc-cassis (post 1945) was necessitated by the german army's confiscation of all the local red burgundy during the war. faced with an excess of white wine, kir renovated a drink that used to be made primarily with the red. another explanation that has been offered is that mayor kir revived it during a year in which the ordinary white wine of the region was inferior and the crème de cassis helped to disguise the fact. following the commercial development of crème de cassis in 1841, the cocktail became a popular regional café drink, but has since become inextricably linked internationally with the name of mayor kir. when ordering a kir, waiters in france sometimes ask whether the customer wants it made with crème de cassis (blackcurrant), de mûre (blackberry), de pêche (peach), or framboise (raspberry). the international bartenders association gives a recipe using 1/10 crème de cassis, but french sources typically specify more; 19th-century recipes for blanc-cassis recommended 1/3 crème de cassis, which modern tastes find cloyingly sweet, and modern sources typically about 1/5. replacing the crème de cassis with blackcurrant syrup is discouraged.

Drink

Drink

Mojito

Mojito (; spanish: [moˈxito]) is a traditional cuban highball. the cocktail often consists of five ingredients: white rum, sugar (traditionally sugar cane juice), lime juice, soda water, and mint. its combination of sweetness, citrus, and herbaceous mint flavors is intended to complement the rum, and has made the mojito a popular summer drink.when preparing a mojito, fresh lime juice is added to sugar (or to simple syrup) and mint leaves. the mixture is then gently mashed with a muddler. the mint leaves should only be bruised to release the essential oils and should not be shredded. then rum is added and the mixture is briefly stirred to dissolve the sugar and to lift the mint leaves up from the bottom for better presentation. finally, the drink is topped with crushed ice and sparkling soda water. mint leaves and lime wedges are used to garnish the glass. the mojito is one of the most famous rum-based highballs. there are several versions of the mojito.
