Lemon Juice
Lemon Juice being rich in Vitamin C is an excellent remedy for sore throat and aids in digestion and controls blood sugar, and also promoted weight loss. It is used for various culinary and non-culinary purposes all over the world. Lemon juice is known to reduce or even reverse the effects of excessive alcohol consumption and intoxication.
In drink mixing, fresh lemon juice brings a tangy zing to so many classic drinks and in fact, it's the most used ingredient in drink mixing other than the liquors of course.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.Honey Syrup
Honey, a golden nectar harvested from the labor of bees, lends a natural sweetness and distinctive depth of flavor to an array of cocktails. Its unique floral and earthy notes can elevate the complexity of drinks, offering a harmonious balance to various spirits and mixers. From classic concoctions like the Bee\'s Knees, where honey mingles with gin and lemon for a refreshing blend of tang and sweetness, to innovative blends that incorporate honey syrups or infusions, such as the Honey Lavender Old Fashioned, which marries bourbon, honey, and lavender bitters, honey adds a touch of warmth and complexity that takes cocktails to new heights. Beyond its taste, honey\'s versatility extends to its diverse forms, like raw honey, honey syrups, or honey-infused liquors, providing mixologists with a palette of options to craft libations that cater to a wide range of palates. Whether it\'s a revitalizing summer sipper or a comforting winter warmer, honey stands as a dynamic and delightful ingredient in the world of cocktails.
