Absolut Pepper 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.Tio Pepe Dry Sherry
Sherry is a fortified wine of Spanish origin. This is a fortified wine made from the white palomino grapes that grow near the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. The name Sherry is the anglicisation of Xérès (Jerez).
Sherry is produced in several styles including light sherries like Manzanilla and fino, similar to white table wines, and darker and heavier wines such as Amontillado and oloroso, that are allowed to oxidise as they age in barrels.
Sherry is fortified with grape spirit after the fermentation is complete, where as Port, a similar wine from Portugal is fortified half way through the fermentation which stops further fermentation of sugar into alcohol. Thus, Port is sweeter and Sherry is usually Dry and sweetness if any is added later.
So, Dry Sherry is essentially the wine which has completed fermentation and has little to no sugar from the grapes left in it.
There are naturally sweet Sherry too, Moscatel, made from the grapes by the same name and they are produced like Port, that is, fermentation is stopped mid way, and there is Pedro Ximénez too.Tabasco Sauce
Tabasco Sauce is a brand of hot sauce made from the Tabasco chili pepper that grow mostly in the Gulf Coast of Mexico. It is one of the known highly pungent and hot pepper like the Naga Jalokia of India. Tabasco Sauce is made with just three ingredients - peppers, salt and vinegar. The red pepper mash in aged in white oak barrels and the long aging process renders the complex flavour to this hot sauce.
It is an American brand, produced by the Mcilhenny Company of Avery Islands, Southern Louisiana. In drink mixing, Tabasco is popularly known to be an ingredient in the Bloody Mary cocktail and is used in many cocktail classics, the sauce simply enhances the flavour of every drink and adds the extra kick to every sip.Worcestershire Sauce 2es
Worcestershire Sauce is a fermented liquid condiment created by the British chemists John Wheeley Lea and Henry Perrins, in the city of Worcester in Worchestershire, England, in the first half of the 19th Century.
Fermented fish sauce has ben in use in Greco-Roman cuisine, fermented anchovy sauce can be traced back to the 17th Century Europe too. However this particular concoction is tentatively attributed by the original label of the company's product as a sauce that came "from the recipe of a nobleman in the county", the company also claimed that Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal, encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and he commissioned a local apothecary to recreate it. The original recipe includes vinger, molasses, sugar. salt, anchovies, tamarind, shallots/onions, garlic, other spices and flavourings, and quite resemble an Indian fish curry or fish sauce recipe indeed.
In food and in cocktail, this sauce provides for a background flavour and is a source of umami, the fifth flavour or the flavour of savouriness. The spicy richness is what makes Bloody Mary, Caesar and Bull Shot cocktails the spicy, salty and overall savoury flavour.Big Tom Tomato Juice 1 bottle
Tomato juice is obviously the juice of ripe tomatoes, and is usually used as a beverage, either plain or in cocktails such as Bloody Mary. Tomato juice releases enzymes that breaks down alcohol faster in your liver, so if you are looking to start the next day early and fresh, opt for a cocktail with Tomato juice in it.
Celery For Garnish
Celery is a marshland plant with a long fibrous stalk tapering into leaves. Celery stalks and leaves are used in cooking and since celery has the freshness of herbs and cucumbers, it is often used in cocktails, and it adds a sharp and cooling feel to a cocktail. The vegetal aroma of celery works well with lighter spirits like Vodka, Gin, Aquavit, Tequila and Silver Rum, and is best paired with a citrus mix.
Slice Of Lime For Garnish
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

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.
