100 Proof Absolut 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.Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskey or Uisce Beatha ( same as French Eau de vie or Water of Life ) was the most popular spirit of the world once,
Irish Whiskey was one of the earliest distilled drinks in Europe, it is believed that the Irish Monks brought the technique of perfume distillation back to Ireland from Southern France and modified that to distill drinkable alcohol. The early Irish Whiskey was not what it is today and it was more a distilled whiskey infused with herbs such as thyme, anise or mint.
Irish Mist is a whiskey liqueur created using one such original recipe, but by current standards, although it is created just like early Irish Whisky was made with herbal infusions, it'll be categorised as a liqueur.
Although it seems like Whiskey has been produced in Ireland since 1000 CE but the first written record of it can be found from 1405 in the Annals of Clonmacnoise, that is a good 89 years before Scotland.
Irish Whiskey has a smoother finish as opposed to the smoky, earthy overtones of a Scotch. The smoky overtones in Scoth comes from drying the malted barley using peat smoke, but peat is rarely used in the malting process in Ireland, leaving a few like Connemara peated Irish malt whiskey and Pearse Whiskey.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.7 Up Soda
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.

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.
