Can alcohol be tasty? Many connoisseurs of alcohol confidently say yes. These are mainly cocktails, although there are also “solo” drinks, which can be attributed to delicious. But first things first.
"Blue Lagoon"
This cocktail is included in numerous TOPs of the best, delicious and beautiful cocktails in the world. And it's hard to argue with that! After all, it is a refreshing long of bewitching azure color with a pleasant tropical taste, in which alcohol is practically not felt.
It contains good vodka (50 ml), Blue Curacao liquor (20 ml), Sprite soda (140 ml), lime juice (10 ml), ice cubes (150 g) and pineapple slice for decoration. The cooking is very simple. Pour ice into a tall glass and pour the rest of the ingredients previously mixed in the shaker onto the top. That's all. You can make the drink stronger by adding more vodka.
"Pina colada"
Under this name, both a cocktail and liquor are known. It is worth talking about both.
According to numerous polls, the most delicious alcohol for girls is the Pina Colada cocktail. It includes light rum (30 ml), pineapple juice (90 ml), Malibu liqueur or coconut milk (30 ml), ice cubes (50 g), cream with a fat content of 15% (20 ml), a slice of pineapple and cocktail cherry for decoration. The cooking technology is the same as that of the “Blue Lagoon”.
Liquor "Pina Colada" can rightly be called delicious strong alcohol. "Degrees" in it range from 15 to 30 (depending on the manufacturer). The peculiarity of this liquor is a thick viscous sweetness and rich taste, which harmoniously combines the tenderness of coconut and the originality of pineapple. You need to drink the drink clean, without diluting it. Although it is in good harmony with coffee, fruits and various desserts.
Margarita
If we are talking about delicious alcohol and cocktails, then the legendary Margarita cannot be ignored. She is included in the “Modern Classics” category on the list of the International Barmen Association. This is the world's most popular tequila-based cocktail.
The classic Margarita consists of three ingredients. These are tequila (35 ml), Cointreau liqueur (25 ml) and freshly squeezed lime juice (15 ml). The first ingredient provides strength and the second taste. Liquor "Cointreau" is characterized by a pronounced floral-fruity aroma with hints of bitter and sweet citruses.
There are lots of options for Margarita. Her taste is changed by adding other liquors instead of Cointreau. Pineapple, strawberry, peach varieties are popular. And sometimes the ingredients are whipped in a mixer along with crushed ice. It turns out "Frozen Margarita."
Cuba Libre
Another cocktail, which is one of the most used in the world. He is also on the list of Modern Classics. And, according to Bacardi's estimates, 6,000,000 servings of this cocktail are drunk annually in the world.
This drink in bars is most often chosen by both men who think that they drink tasty from alcohol, but do not want anything strong, as well as girls who love interesting combinations. The composition of Cuba Libre includes light rum (50 ml), soda Coca-Cola (120 ml), freshly squeezed lime juice (10 ml) and ice. Garnished with a citrus slice.
As in the case of Margarita, there are several options for the drink. To create them, just use another rum.
By the way, Cuba Libre has a cocktail "descendant", and its original name is Cuba Libre del pobre. Over time, it became known as Kalimoho. The composition of this drink includes only two ingredients - Coca-Cola and dry red wine, which already has the necessary acidity, which is added to the rum using lime juice.
Amaretto
Want to taste delicious alcohol with an original, unique touch? Then Italian Amaretto liqueur of the Amaro class is the best option. It is made on the basis of almonds, less often as the basic ingredients take apricot kernels and spices. Fortress varies from 21 to 28%.
A pleasant combination of almonds, vanilla and a touch of grape syrup, which helps decompose hydrocyanic acid during distillation , gives alcohol the taste of marzipan. The drink goes well with ice, tea or coffee, perfectly complements many cocktails. And it is also used in the confectionery industry - they are added to desserts and pastries, soaked with cakes.
Baileys
Another liquor on the list of the most delicious alcohol. What is he like?
So, this is Irish cream liquor with a strength of 17%. Pretty “young” drink, it has been made since 1974. The basis is Irish whiskey triple distillation and cream.
It is interesting that in addition to the classic "Beilis" there are also other types of it. The range of flavors is Mint Chocolate, Caramel Cream, Coffee Coffee and Hazelnut. All variations have admirers, but the classic Baileys is incomparable. To taste, it resembles a melted creamy ice cream with caramel and vanilla.
This drink will appeal to even people who do not like liquors because of the sweetness. The Baileys is not cloying. So it does not even need to be diluted with ice - you can enjoy a clean, delicate taste.
Becherovka
Interested in tasty and strong alcohol? Then you need to pay attention to Becherovka, a Czech herbal liquor made in Karlovy Vary. Its strength is 38%.
Even the production of this drink is of interest. The mixture, which includes at least 20 herbs, is poured into canvas bags and immersed in alcohol containers, after which they are left for a week.
After time, the resulting extract is poured into barrels made of oak, in which it is mixed with sugar and Karlovy Vary water. There, the future drink is infused for about 2-3 months.
All this determines the unique taste of Becherovka. It is sweet, fragrant, piquant, soft. It goes well with currant and apple juice.
Vermouth
The drink includes this drink, which is a flavored gourmet wine. Its strength is from 16 to 22%.
The production uses, as a rule, neutral and white wines. Very rarely practice adding red. Most often vermouth with a scarlet shade is a drink to which caramel was added.
The refined aroma of wine is due to the use in its preparation of various roots, seeds, flowers and herbs. Most often, alpine wormwood is added. Its content in most vermouths is 50% of the total amount of flavorings used.
The taste of this drink is very sweet, with a slight bitterness. Some adore him, others categorically do not perceive. But the whole secret is in the culture of drinking. Vermouth should be diluted with water, ice, and even better - apple juice.
Cognac
Surely many will be skeptical that this drink is generally mentioned in the framework of the topic under discussion. Indeed, cognac could hardly be called the most delicious alcohol, if not for one “but”. It's all about exposure! Its taste, aroma and softness depend on it. The larger it is, the better the drink. True, this also affects the price.
If we talk about domestic brands, the Armenian brandy has a clear advantage. Often the exposure of this drink reaches 25 years. But this is not the only point. Armenian grapes are a sunny product, not earthy. After all, the vines growing in this country are heated under the rays for 300 days a year. The grapes are sweet and aromatic. And brandy as a result has the same qualities.
The taste is also influenced by double filtration and cold treatment, thanks to which it is possible to get rid of oak suspension. As a result, the Armenian cognac is saturated, but soft. For this, tens of thousands of strong alcohol lovers love him.
Beer
This drink has a lot of admirers, so you just have to mention it. If you believe the polls and sales ratings, then this is what the three “leaders” look like:
- Athanasius Porter, 8%. Soft burnt aroma, dense rich taste with pleasant bitterness. Hops are not felt.
- Ale "Shaggy bumblebee", 5%. Initially, the drink was an experimental project, but its peculiar taste that was not comparable with other beer was so popular with consumers that it was decided to start mass production. It is drunk softly, there is a fruity-caramel sweetness imperceptibly replaced by malt bitterness.
- Russian Imperial Status by Stamm Beer, 9%. Its original taste is due to the use of 7 types of malt and Summit American hops. The taste is enveloping, harmonious and powerful. The notes of burnt bread, coffee, prunes, raisins, the sweetness of fortified wine, burnt wood and malt, dark chocolate, and dark fruits are felt. All this combines so unexpectedly successfully that I want to try again and again.
Also in the list of the best beer you can include “Baltika 3”, “Yuzberg Weissbier”, “Ochakovo”, “Three Bears” and Velkopopovicky Kozel.
Well, you can still discuss the topic for a long time about what kind of alcohol is tasty, because there are countless drinks. And above were listed those that, in the opinion of many, are such.
