3 Aperitif Whisky The word 'aperitif' is actually derived from the Latin word aperire, which means to open. Therefore an aperitif is a drink that is used as an opening to a meal. Aromatised wines and dry sherries are considered to be proper aperitifs. They often come from secretly concocted herbal recipes and a gourmet worth his salt never starts his dinner without an inspirational sip from his favourite aperitif. Campari Martini (Bianco/ Rosso/ Dry) Cinzano (Bianco/ Rosso) Liqueur The word whisky comes from the Gaelic word, uisgebaugh, which means water of life. If you say uisgebaugh quickly (if you can at all) it comes as WYS-GER-BAW, which was shortened to whisky. Single Malt Cardhu Talisker 10 YO The Glenlivet 10 YO Glenfiddich 10 YO American Jack Daniel s Jim Beam Scotch Liqueurs are defined as syrupy, sweetened and flavoured spirits. They were originally concocted in the early days as potions for medicinal purposes. Infusing alcohol with remedial herbs, spices, fruits and barks was a good way of preserving their medicinal qualities.

The first documented production of vodka was at the end of the 9th century in Russia. Grey Goose Cîroc Finlandia Absolut Smirnoff Flavoured Smirnoff

4 Rum Cognac/Brandy Columbus brought sugarcane to the West Indies and unwittingly sparked a revolution in the alcohol world. Rum comes with the characteristic Bohemian spirit of the Cubans and, to know its importance, one just has to rummage through the larder of a serious spirit connoisseur. Malibu Bacardi Flavoured Breezers Captain Morgan Spice Gold Bacardi Reserva Bacardi Old Monk The origin of brandy is hazy with many versions. Who knows which one is true...one old story tells of a Dutchman, who, in the 16th century, was transporting wine from France to Holland. He dehydrated the wine, so that he could ship more wine per trip. His friend solved the concentrate and called it, brandewijin meaning burned wine and thus brandy was born. Undoubtedly, it's the French who refined and perfected the art of making this spirit. Remy Martin XO Remy Martin VSOP Martell VSOP Morpheus Gin Beer Gin gets its dominant flavour from juniper berries. The word gin comes from the foreign words for juniper, genièvre (French), jenever (Dutch) and ginepro (Italian). It s believed that gin was first developed in the 17th century by a Dutch doctor, Franciscus Sylvius, who combined alcohol with the juniper berry to concoct a remedy for kidney complaints. Although it did nothing for the kidneys, the tonic was very popular due to its amnesia effect! During the Eighty Years war, the Dutch were ably supported by the jenever-binging Brit soldiers. It led to the coinage of the phrase, Dutch courage, which means fearlessness from intoxication! Bombay Sapphire Beefeater Blue Riband Tequila The origin of beer dates back to some 5000 years, when it was first brewed in China. Since then, the world really hasn t been able to stop the rampant growth of its flattering variations: bottled, crafted, root beer and more. Amstel Light Corona Heineken Budweiser Kingfisher Ultra Max Kingfisher Ultra Kingfisher Premium Fosters 650ml / 330ml This unique briny liqueur, made exclusively in Mexico from the blue agave plant, is the base for Margarita, Brave Bull, Tequila Sunrise and of course, the Tequila Slammer. It s a romantic, daring drink with a distinctive dry taste. The Aztec people had previously made a fermented beverage from the agave plant. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their own brandy, they began to distill agave to produce one of North America's first indigenous distilled spirits. Like Eagles puts it in their song, Tequila Sunrise, go ahead, take another shot of courage! Jose Cuervo Especial Resposado Don Angel Blanco

5 Cocktail Diverse influences led to the making of the first cocktail: availability of alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, establishments with the knowledge to create something original, the increasing number of bored boozers and the intrepid bartenders who dared to innovate and attain glory.
