Knowra Mixed drink Mixed drink An alcoholic beverage made by combining two or more ingredients, often a spirit with a mixer or flavorings. It includes cocktails and simpler combinations such as spirit-and-soda drinks.
Distilled beverage : An alcoholic drink produced by distilling a fermented liquid. Spirits such as gin, rum, and whiskey commonly form the alcoholic base.
Cocktail shaker : A vessel used to combine and chill drink ingredients by shaking them with ice. Shaking rapidly chills, dilutes, and aerates drinks containing ingredients such as citrus or egg.
Gin and tonic : A mixed drink made with gin and tonic water, commonly served with lime. It demonstrates how a spirit, a bitter mixer, and citrus form a simple highball.
Beer : An alcoholic beverage brewed from cereal grains, water, hops, and yeast. Beer is typically fermented as a finished beverage rather than assembled from separate ingredients at serving.
Mixer (drink) : A nonalcoholic beverage or ingredient added to an alcoholic drink, often to dilute or flavor it. Mixers such as tonic water and cola change a spirit’s strength and taste.
Bar spoon : A long-handled spoon used to stir drinks and layer ingredients in a glass. Stirring combines clear, spirit-forward drinks while limiting aeration.
Margarita : A cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, often served with a salted rim. Its balance of agave spirit, citrus, and liqueur illustrates a classic sour-style recipe.
Wine : An alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grape juice or other fruit juice. Wine is usually served as a fermented product, unlike drinks mixed from separate components.
Cocktail : A mixed alcoholic drink, generally made with a spirit and additional ingredients. Cocktails are the most elaborately prepared and widely recognized mixed drinks.
Jigger : A small measuring vessel used to portion liquids, especially in drink preparation. Accurate pours make recipes repeatable and help control strength.
