Cocktails.

I) A cocktail is a mixed drink typically made with a distilled beverage (such as gin, vodka, whiskey, tequila, or rum) that is mixed with other ingredients. If beer is one of the ingredients, the drink is called a beer cocktail.

Cocktails contain one or more types of liqueur, juice, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, or other flavorings. Cocktails may vary in their ingredients from bartender to bartender, and from region to region. Two cocktails may have the same name but taste very different because of differences in how the drinks are prepared.

What do you know about cocktails? They are aperitifs, digestives, and original. Aperitif cocktails are served before the meal. They are: Old-fashioned, Manhattan, Martini and Cinzano. These cocktails improve the appetite. The digestives are: flips, smashes, cordial, oyster, frappe, mist and cocktails of “sour” group. They are served after the meal and help to digest our food. The original cocktails are: layer-knickenbein, champerol, pousse-café and crusta.

In hot weather it’s recommended to drink “sour”. It’s a pleasant cooling cocktail which quenches our thirst. It has much lemon juice in it.

People drink most cocktails using straws. When you drink “through a straw” it’s called “a long drink”, when you drink at a gulp – “a short drink”.
