non-narcotic liquid cocaine cocktails and shots and their popularity - the impact of social acceptance, psychological and economical
Which cocktails are attributed to the Royal Navy of England?
The Royal Navy of England is credited with the invention of both Gin and Tonic as well as Pink Gin. The reason for this is that these drinks were created as a way to make the English sailors more resistant to malaria.
Gin and Tonic was created by adding quinine to gin which made it more palatable and thus easier for sailors to drink.
Pink Gin on the other hand was created by adding a dash of Angostura bitters to gin, the dark red bitter turned the whole drink pink. This concoction was supposed to cure sea sickness.
Gin and Tonic though, is generally attributed to the Colonial Armed Forces of England in general, not just the Navy.
Examining the Psychological Effects of Non-Narcotic Liquid Cocaine Cocktails and Shots
Liquid Cocaine is a drug alright, everything illegal seem to work like magnets to young people looking for attention and confirmation, but what's in this alcohol legal cocktail that's attracting them so much? the name, the name itself is so illegal and associated with myths and stories of violent Mexican cartels and the drug mules who die every now and then, that it does have a very potent attraction factor. Added to that is the potency of the cocktail and the taste that leaves a potent mark, and although it's not as harmful and illegal as the original drug cocktail, it does give the feel and the associated swagger of taking a contraband, that brings in a feeling of power and detachment that comes from the high and hallucinations it can give.
All of these factors contribute to the popularity of this non-narcotic, alcohol only drink that bear the name of the original liquid cocaine, making them a popular item amongst party goers and young people alike.
Assessing the Societal Impact of the Popularity of Non-Narcotic Liquid Cocaine
The increasing popularity of non-narcotic liquid cocaine cocktails and shots is cause for concern, given the potential health risks and public health implications, particularly among college-age drinkers. Excessive consumption of alcohol can result in serious health problems, such as liver damage, overdose, and even death. Furthermore, the partying atmosphere and bravado associated with these drinks can often lead to riskier behavior among those who drink them. It is therefore important to be aware of the risks associated with overindulgence in alcohol, and to take steps to reduce the potential for harm.
Responsible behaviour and limiting potent shots or even better avoiding them is the best way to reduce the likelihood of risky behaviour.
Piggybacking the intrinsic human instinct to seek pleasure in forbidden affairs
The power of a name, especially when it comes to a product like this liquid cocaine, cannot be overstated. Having a name so close to the original and highly popular narcotic can create an emotional reaction in some people; an evocative name can be the key to unlocking an emotionally charged response from the consumer.
Liquid cocaine cocktails and shots tap into these feelings by flirting with a 'forbidden' element, a certain je ne sais quoi that appeals to the people due to its audacity. This type of rebellion and disregard for the status quo is something that is attractive to younger generations who seek to make a name for themselves and carve out a niche in a world that can often feel restrictive. Its suggestive name has also been known to make people feel as though they are doing something rebellious and controversial, thus creating an attachment to the product. More on this social factor later.
The Role of Marketing in the Growth of Non-Narcotic Liquid Cocaine Cocktails and Shots
Marketing campaigns such as Starbucks' Liquid Cocaine, which effectively aligns high doses of caffeine with the effects of cocaine, has been influential in the rise of the liquid cocaine moniker in alcoholic shots and cocktails. This type of marketing reinforces the notion that taking such shots and drinks will have the same intoxicating effects as cocaine without the legal implications. It also portrays the idea that these drinks will give the drinker an edge, an ability to stay in control while partying with friends. This type of marketing appeals to young people who are looking for a way to stand out from the crowd and to look cool in social situations.
This type of marketing can be seen a form of exploitation, as it uses the allure of a prohibited substance to attract consumers, thus perpetuating the myth that alcohol and drugs can be consumed together without any serious risks. Moreover, it can lead to confusion amongst consumers in regards to what is actually contained in the liquid cocaine and the potential health risks associated with it
Understanding the Social Factors Driving the Popularity of Non-Narcotic Liquid Cocaine Cocktails and Shots
The social forces driving the popularity of non-narcotic liquid cocaine cocktails and shots are complex and varied. In today's society, it is becoming increasingly difficult to break free from the status quo and stand out in a crowd. For some, the idea of taking a shot or a cocktail that has the same name as a prohibited substance can be seen as an act of rebellion, a way to break away from the norm. Beyond simply breaking the rules, these drinks can also be seen as a way to elevate one's status within a social circle, as they can give the drinker an alleged edge over others in terms of physical and mental performance.
But this well understood, what is less understood is that how modern modes of social interactions that have been shaped broadly by digital social media channels where users are increasingly eager to create an online persona that is far from reality, are driving the popularity of these shots and cocktails.
How modern Society driven by Digital Social Media is Driving the popularity
Today, pop culture, trends and social influences are almost entirely driven by social media. Teens and adults alike, we trust social media influencers more than the neighbourhood man who actually has more knowledge on a given topic than a pretentious influencer on TikTok or Instagram. In addition to that viral campaigns that occupy more of our active day that old school newsprint or even TV advertisements could, add to the hype and trends go viral quickly and spread faster than a wild fire.
It does not take long for something to become a part of the mainstream consciousness, and, liquid cocaine shots are no exception. Eager to be part of the trend, more and more youngsters are trying these shots as a way to stand out from the crowd and make an impression on their peers
Examining the Economic Impact of Non-Narcotic Liquid Cocaine Cocktails and Shots on the Drinks Industry
The impact of liquid cocaine, the cocktail, on the drinks industry has been significant. When something as illegal as liquid cocaine, shares it's name with a legal alcoholic beverage. it's bound to grab people's attention and that has had a nice economic impact. Bars and pubs now show case this drink regularly and although the original recipe has been altered several times over, the name never changes because it's all about the name.
This has resulted in increased profits for many businesses as customers are more likely to try a new concoction when it has a catchy name or an attractive flavor profile.

Any Glass
When there is no specific glass suggested for a cocktail, it's up to you to chose a glass.
Either you just go ahead and serve using any glass available to you following these simple rules
A. Go for Tall or Collins Glasses, Highball Glasses or even Hurricane Glasses for cocktails with loads of non-alcoholic mixes, and those that require crushed or cubed ices,
B. But if your cocktail is aromatic and liqueur based, and has a complex character that must reach the nose use a wide mouthed Cocktail Glass.
C. Red Wine Glasses for cocktails that have a Red Wine as the base spirit. Red Wine Glasses have a wider mouth and a long stem, so that the wine can be swirled an aerated to release the aroma while the long stem keeps the fingers away and avoid quick warming of the wine.
D. White Wine Glasses for cocktails with a White Wine base, since White Wines must not be aerated as much as a Red Wines, since they oxidise fast when in contact with air, White Wine glassware, in contrast to the wide mouthed bowl of a Red Wine Glassware, is narrow with a narrow mouth. A White Wine has much lighter and delicate notes and the narrow mouth and less surface area in contact with air helps retain the aroma.
E. If your cocktail is based on a Sparkling Wine like Champagne then a Flute Glass is more suitable since a Sparkling Wine is a White Wine with a secondary fermentation that produces the bubbles, and the narrow mouth flute prevents the bubbles from escaping.
F. If it's winter and you are in the mood for some hot cocktails like the Irish Coffee or Hot Toddy, go for the Irish Coffee Glass, it has a heat resistant glass and a handle.
G. Martini Glasses for Martinis or "Tinis" in general, but since these glasses have fallen off of favour these days, a Cocktail Glass will be good too.
H. IF you are serving Margaritas, don't look for Margarita Glass if you don't have one at home, Double Old Fashioned Glass or other glasses are more common these days, for serving Margaritas.
I. If you are the adventurous one, and are serving shots or shooters, of course the Shot Glass is your choice of glass,
J. Finally, if you are going all out and serving depth charges and car bomb shots, all you need is a Double Old Fashioned Glass or a Beer Mug for the beer and a shot glass to drop the bomb in.Simple Guide to Cocktail Glassware
