Terminology

With the previous posts, some doubts appeared on the terminology applied in the manufacture of beverages.... here I leave a few meanings ...

Dash: Dash to call a minimum requirement of an ingredient, usually not included in percentage. Thus, acocktail that you complete 100% of your ingredients, you can still include a "dash" of something. Despite being a small measure, it is important to give the personal touch to the drinkwe do, as in the case of Tequila Sunrise, where the final grenadine gives a very characteristic effect. Usuallycorresponds to about 1/32 of an ounce.

Splash: Is a little vague as well, made ​​comfortable by the bartender. Thus a splash not included with the recipe, but would become a new detail to the bartender decides to add or not the cocktail.

Garnish: Call garnish with all the trimmings that you can make a cocktail, or accompanying it. In the field ofbartendería lasfamosas find colored straws, fruit, umbrellas and sticks beaters anyway. But the word garnishhas a more global sense, in food for example, is called to the profession that is dedicated just to the decorand food presentation of an artistic way.

In 1740, Vernon issued an order which the rum (or "rum") should bediluted with water under the supervision of an officer. The sailors would enjoy two servings a day. To improve the taste these added sugar and lime, giving rise to the "grog" we know today, named after the Admiral.

Boilermaker

If you're looking to party and lack, the Boilermaker is infallible. A very easy to drink, many do not dare to combine

Boilermaker

The recipe is:

• 1 shot blended whiskey
• 1 mug of beer

The method of drinking varies. Some shoot the whiskey straight and use the beer as a chaser. 

Others pourthe two together and drink it. A "Depth Charge" Occurs When You drop the shot glass Into the beer down theglass and drink all at once.

I recommend the last one!

I will tell the story of a man willing to forget a woman who has done nothing but torment. (That is something that often happens with this drink), but our character has the formula to combat the bitter memory of love.

He ask the bartender to bring him a beer and a shot of bourbon to drown our sorrows. Repeat and repeat and employee of the bar is surprised when he asks you to serve the third, he tells him to go reassuring because our man is drunk. Just a ray of light filters in the establishment at that time is half empty. The man says it all solitary drinkers "Do not worry." He then adds: "Just bring me one bourbon, one scotch and one beer."

Remember, never says another, it just says one. Just camaraderie prevailed. Both the solitary drinker and the bartender, just clinging to the bar as a lifeline in the long night of the world.

All this history are in "one bourbon, one scotch, one beer" by John Lee Hooker, with a delicious blues, you spreadthe urge to drink a Boilermaker

Well, we're in Cuba, know the Mojito ?? 

let's see it!



Ingredients:

½ cup of mineral water
1 cup crushed ice
1 sprig of mint
1 tablespoon lemon juice
sugar


Instructions:


Mix lemon juice, rum, sugar, crushed ice and mint.
Using a spoon mix well until sugar dissolves.
Add club soda.
Serve in small glasses and garnish with mint.

This cocktail in particular has several stories about its origin ...

One of these is the fact that the Mojito goes back to the sixteenth century, when pirates roamed freely through the Caribbean seas, and at this time this cocktail is known by the name "The Drake" after the English pirate Francis Drake.

Another story was invented during the U.S. Prohibition, when all those Americans who wanted to consume alcohol in a legal way, they had to go to Cuba. In the United States were used to make cocktails like the Mojito but prepared with bourbon or American whiskey, but in Cuba there was no bourbon, so they replaced it with white rum.

Others say that its true origin dates back to 1910 when a descendant of Spanish(name unknown) created the cocktail in a club of aristocrats located in La Concha beach west of Havana. 

Some also think that the Mojito was invented at a restaurant in Havana called LaBodeguita del Medio, but this restaurant was popularized by Ernest Hemingway as this came every evening at this restaurant to take a couple of Mojitos because it wasone of his favorite cocktails . In fact, there is a slogan that says, "Hemingway takes its daiquiri at the Floridita, and mojito in the Bodeguita ."

As you can see there are several different stories, each with its peculiar charm. I describe to you the some of the popular stories that make you prefer and if you haveothers ask me to write! ... KISS;)
