Tomato Juice
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.
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.Sherry Dry 1 teaspoon
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.Celery Salt 1 pinch
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.
