MORE

It is a popular rumour that a barmaid named Betsy, served a mixed drink in her tavern, during the Revolutionary War. The drink she made was called Betsy's Braces and it is said to have been popular with American and French soldiers. According to this legend Betsy’s tavern was located near Hall's Corners in New York.

It is rumoured that the French soldiers coined the term cocktail that follows an anecdotal incident.

There is a story say that American soldiers stole male pheasants from their British counterparts and celebrated this at the Tavern. It is said at the time of the toast one of the American soldiers proclaimed "Here's to divine liquor which tastes as delicious to the palate as the cock's tails are beautiful to the eye." This was followed by the French reply "Vive le cocktail!"

A story, but a great one indeed

  • Tequila Don Julio Reposado

    Tequila is a distilled beverage, made only from a specific cultivar of Agave Tequilana called 'Weber Azul' or Blue Agave, native to the states of Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit and Aguascalientes in Mexico. The Blue Agave grows above an altitude of 1500 m and are juicy succulents with spiky fleshy leaves.

    Tequila is made around the city of Tequila 40 miles northwest of Guadaljara, and in the Jaliscan Highlands of Central Western Mexico. Mexican laws state that Tequila can only be produces in the state of Jalisco and a few limited municipalities in the other Blue Agave growing regions.

    Tequila is 35% to 55% Alcohol by Volume (70 and 110 U.S. proof), it must be at least 40% ABV to be sold as Tequila in the USA.

    Tequila is a distilled derivative of the pre-Columbian fermented beverage called pulque, made from the Agave plant. When the Spanish conquistadors ran out of their brandy, they started distilling Agave to produce a distilled spirit. This by 1600s was what Don Pedro Sánchez de Tagle, the Marquis of Altamira, began mass-producing in his distillery near modern day Jalisco and came to be known as Tequila.

  • Grand Marnier

    Grand Marnier is a French liqueur brand. Their most well known product is Grand MarnierCordon Rouge, an Orange flavoured liqueur created by Alexander Marnier Lapostolle in 1880.
    It is made from a blend of Cognac brandy, distilled essence of bitter orange and sugar. It is 40% ABV or 80 proof in USA.

    Grand Marnier is a French Brand of liqueurs. The most well-known product is the Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge, an orange flavoured liqueur made from a blend of Cognac, brandy, distilled essence of bitter Orange and sugar. The Cordon Rouge was created in 1880 by Alexander Marnier-Lapostolle. It has 40% ABV.
    Grand Mariner is full of rich, complex flavours and intrigues of the Cognac, and makes cocktails taste. A Grand Mariner is a blend of Cognac and Triple Sec, it's not a traditional Curacao, it's a similar orange liqueur.

  • Agave Nectar

    Agave nectar or maguey syrup is essentially a high fructose syrup produced from the fluid inside different species of the agave plant, the Blue Agave syrup contains 56$ fructose and that is too much of fructose for the body to handle, and Agave Nectar as the Syrup is marketed as, is not a good and healthy alternative of table sugar.

  • Ice Cubes 5 cubes

    Ice is so obvious in most drinks, be it a straight drink or a mixed drink, that we often forget it's importance or even reason behind using a crystal clear good quality ice in a glass of whisky, or crushed ice in a tall glass to enjoy a cocktail.

    Ice tempers a hard liquor, and as is in the case of whisky for example, if you prefer the flavours of whisky reach your nose without the hard note of spirit lingering around, or want to avoid the mild sting of a neat whisky, a cube of ice mellows the strength down a little and as it melts slowly, the aroma and flavour is released from the whisky slowly and makes whisky progressively weak, lingering and palatable.

    Ice in Vodka helps release the little flavour a Vodka has, slowly, instead of letting the Vodka hit your nose all at once,

    In mixed drinks, ice plays an important role in creating the perfect temperature a certain drink requires and bartenders use ice in several different ways, crushed ice for long drinks that will allow the cocktail to slowly water down like a Mint Julep, Moscow Mule, Rum Swizzle, Sherry Cobbler and other Tiki drinks, a large block or cubes of ice for drinks that are spirit heavy, such as the Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Manhattan
