#2 Trade Winds
Darker the drink the worst is the hangover
MOREDarker drinks like Rum or Red Wine or any other drink that has a colour, contain more residues of the original fruit, grain or corn, and these residues are known as congeners.
Congeners are chemical compounds like tannins, histamine and aldehydes. Congeners impart the unique flavours that these liquors or wines have, which you'll miss in white or colourless liquors like Vodka, but at the cost of heavy hangovers.
Congeners compete with alcohol when metabolism is concerned and might slow down the metabolism of alcohol and result in the alcohol staying in the blood for much longer. In addition, congeners stimulate the body to release stress hormones like norepinephrine and epinephrine which can add to the hangover.

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.Blue Mix
Blue Mix or Blue Cocktail Fruit Mix is an Apple and Peach and rich fruit flavours.
Lemonade Mix
This sweetened lemon flavoured beverage is an eternal popular throughout the world and there are varieties of homemade lemonades found everywhere. In North Africa and South Asia, cloudy lemonade dominates, be sure if your cocktail requires a clear lemonade or a cloudy one, which is indication of fruit pulp presence in the mix.
Orange Juice
Orange Juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, one cup contains twice the daily recommended value. Vitamin C supports the immune system and helps fighting the common cold. The folate in Orange juice supports healthy fetal development. It is low calory and thus is already a qualified alternative to cola fizz in your cocktail if you want to keep your drinks acceptably healthy.
Orange Juice being citrus and naturally sweet and sour, it literally goes with almost any liquor, and of course Vodka being neutral, the best known pairing is with Vodka. But goes well with Dark Rum too, and you get the Planter's Punch, mix it with Champagne and you have made a mimosa, or with tequila to make a tequila sunrise.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
