Gin
Gin is a distilled alcoholic beverage that has it's origin in medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe. The historical Gin producing regions are Southern France, Flanders and Netherlands. Gin was originally created to provide aqua vitae from grape and grain distillates.
During the Middle ages, the newly found substance Ethanol was considered by Alchemists to be the water of life, and an aqueous solution of ethanol was in use all over Europe and had different names and is literally the origin of many spirits like Whisky ( from the Gaelic uisce beatha for water of life ). Today Gin is produces from a wide range of ingredients, which gave rise to numerous distinct styles and brands. The predominant flavour of Gin is from the Juniper berries and then each different distillery flavours it further with an assortment of botanicas or herbs, spices, floral and fruit flavours, in different combinations. Gin is commonly drank mixed with Tonic water but it is also often used as a base spirit for many gin based flavoured liqueurs like Sloe Gin.Vodka
Vodka is an European clear distilled alcoholic drink that has been one of the most popular drinks across the world .
You\'ll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it\'s neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.
Vodka often replaces Gin in many traditional cocktails
Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.Dry Vermouth
Vermouth the French for German Wermut, Wormwood in English, is an aromatic fortified Wine, flavoured with various botanicals like roots, barks, flowers, herbs, seeds and spices.
Although traditionally Vermouth was used for medicinal purposes, it has been also served as an apéritif in its modern avatar. The modern Vermouth first appeared in and around the 18th Century in Turin. By the late 19th Century it became very popular with bartenders as a key ingredient in cocktail mixology.
Martini, Manhattan, Rob Roy and Negroni were a few cocktails that Vermouth grew in popularity with. But later during the 20th Century, Vermouth slowly lost its glory and Dry Martinis and extra Dry Martinis with little or no Vermouth gained over the original Martini. Modern Martinis usually have a splash of Vermouth to add that herbacious texture to it.
Historically, there have been two Vermouth types, Dry and Sweet, but with demand variations have come up now. that include extra-dry white, sweet white, red, amber and rose.
Vermouth is produced by adding proprietory mixture of aromatic botanicals to a base wine or a base wine plus spirit or spirit only, which is usually redistilled before adding it to a base of neutral grape wine or unfermented wine must ( freshly pressed grapes and the juice ). After the wine is aromatised and fortified. it is sweetened and the end product is a Vermouth.
Dry Vermouth is what makes the character of the original Martini, and a Dry Vermouth has less sugar and is more herbacious but less spicier than Sweet Vermouth.Olive 3 pieces
The Mediterranean shrub called Olive produce small bitter fruits known as Olive, and is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region, and is the source of Olive Oil and as the fermented or preserved fruit that is one of the core ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine.
The green olive, picked fully grown but unripe are picked and due to the presence of Oleuropein, are not edible on their own, young fruits are very bitter and the bitterness has to be removed by curing and fermentation, to make them edible.
Black olives are ripe olives, the fruits are picked at full maturity and the fruits have Oleuropein, the phenolic bitter compound found in its skin, although in much lower concentration than in the young green fruits, still the Oleuropein is leached to remove the bitterness and then preserved in brine and sterilised during the canning process.
Sliced black olives are used as topping on sandwiches and pizzas, in cocktails like the Martini, green olives are used and the brine flavour doesn’t go with Sweet Vermouth and many mixologists thus prefer using a Dry Vermouth which pairs well with the brine flavour of the olive. Black olives are used in some cocktails too and variations of the Dirty Martini, however green olive is more often used.
