Why do we clink glasses and toast before drinking?
MOREBanging of wooden mugs or metal bowls of liquor is a medieval custom of spilling each others drink into the others mug, to make sure that no one tried to spike the other's drink with poison, sailors did it, guests in a tavern would do it too.
The host of a meal would drink from the bottle for the guests first and then all would clink glasses to ensure the host didn't spike their drink. The level of trust was absolutely measly back in the days, but with time the custom became a cheerful custom of showing trust, honesty and a toast to good health.

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.Limoncello
limoncello is an Italian liqueur from Southern Italy, in Northern Italy it is usually referred to as Limoncino. It is a lemon liqueur, made from the zest of Femminello St.Teresa lemons.
Lemon zest, or peels without the pith, is steeped in rectified spirit until the essential oils are released. The yellow spirit is then blended with simple syrup.
Note: If a bottle of Limoncello is hard to come buy and it's not particularly the base spirit of the cocktail, Limoncello can be substituted with a neutral spirit like a neutral Vodka blended with some syrup like Torani Lemon Syrup.Elderflower Cordial
Elderflower Cordial is essentially a sweet syrup soft drink made from European Elderflower ( Sambucus Nigra ), made with sugar and water since Victorian times. When made with alcohol, the cordial is a bright floral addition to mixed drinks, although not just the Elderflower Liqueur, the Cordial is used in flavouring cocktails too.
Soda Water
Soda refers to carbonated water, sweetened, flavoured or plain, but there is a difference between Soda and plain Carbonated Water or Sparkling Water, which is known as Seltzer Water, while Seltzer Water is plain water carbonated to add fizz, Soda water contains potassium bicarbonate and potassium sulphate in the water, and according to research Seltzer Water is safer for teeth health and sparkling water provides true hydration and is better at it than regular soda or diet soda.
