Raki Liqueur
Raki is a Balkan alcoholic drink made of twice-distilled grapes and anise. It is the national drink of Turkey and is popular in Crete and many other regions of Turkey. It is popular in other Balkan countries and is popular as an aperitif in far off Kazakhstan.
Honey
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.
Cinnamon Stick 1 stick
Cinnamon is a very popular spice used world over, obtained from the inner bark of the trees of the genus Cinnamomum. Cinnamon is used in a wide variety of cuisines, sweets, breads and tea and is a dominant flavour in Cola too. Cinnamon trees are grown for two years befiore harvesting them by cutitng the stems at ground level, leaving stumps of trunks from where new shoots grow back and the tree growns again. The cut down stems are immediately processed, the outer bark is scraped off and the stem is beaten evenly with a hammer to loosen the inner bark which is then pried off in long rolls, dried and cut into pieces for sale.
Both Cinnamon Sticks and Cinnamon Powder is used in cocktails to add that sweet and woody flavour to the drink. Alternatively if you are not comfortable with the Powder and the recipe doesn't explicitly asks for Cinnamon Powder you can use a drop of Cinnamon Oil instead.
Note: Cinnamon Leaf Oil has a musky and spicy scent, and a light-yellow tinge that distinguishes it from the red-brown color of cinnamon bark oil Cinnamon leaf oil is lighter, cheaper and ideal for regular use. Although cocktail creation is an art and you can experiment with both.Clove
Cloves are flower buds of the evergreen clove tree ( Syzygium Aromaticum ) native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Clove is now grown in many countries and is available year round like most exotic spices that were once exclusive to trade routes across the seas. Found in both ground and whole forms. This aromatic spice can be used to season roasts and curries, and flavour hot beverages, and in cocktails, cloves can add a spicy warmth to the drink.
