Today’s topic differs from the others which I’ve done until now. Today I’m going to tell you a little bit more about my cocktail story with my favourite cocktail, the one that I’m choosing every time when I’m out with my friends-the famous Mojito.

The Mojito is from the cocktails, which give the summer vibe. When I think about the ingredients, which are used for the making of this cocktail, in my head I can already see the sand, the waves and the hot summer nights with fresh air and music.

My special SURPRIZE today is a fun Cocktail-Quiz. Make the test and see how many from your answers are correct, have fun and find the Faktails about cocktails alone!

Today I’m going to tell you more about the Gin-Cocktails, which I like to prepare

---

1.The Gin Fizz

It’s the Gin Fizz that’s most popular in the Fizz family. Alone the Gin fizz has some variations, dependant on the part of the egg, which is being used. If only the egg white is used, the Gin Fizz is called „Silber“. By using the egg yolk, the name changes to „Golden Fizz“. If the whole egg is used in the cocktail, the name becomes „Royal Fizz“.

The „Ramos Gin Fizz“ includes in it’s ingredients orange flower water and sugar and exists since 1888. The glass, which is used for drinking is old fashioned glass.

Other variations of the Gin Fizz, which are not very popular are „Japanese Gin Fizz“ with lychee liqueur the „Sour melon Fizz“ with melon liqueur

2.Gin Tonic

A possible origin of the Gin Tonic is India, at the time of Malaria and is being used to fight the Malaria. It can be served direct in the glass, without being mixed in the shaker. It’s enough to mix it well.

One variation to the decoration, different from the typical lemon or lime is a fresh cucumber. It still remains in the fresh vibe decoration.

3.The Clover Club Cocktail

The Clover Club is one cocktail with a really interesting and long history behind it, which challenges the reader.

It’s possible invention was in the beginning of the 19c. and it was popular until the end of the 30s, when an enormous decline of the popularity has been observed. . Possible reason is the use of raw eggs, which theoretically has been discussed a lot.

There are also many variations of the Clover club, which include using for example the famous grenadine.

4.The Collins Cocktail

The Collins cocktail eventually exists from the second half of the 19 century and there are many theories about it

One of them tells about a man names Tom Collins, who was telling histories about the guests, and they were running to see him

There are also other variations with different names like Juan Collins-Collins with tequila

Theories about the Vodka Cocktails

I am a really big fan of history and interesting theories about anything. And, like any other thing, every cocktail has an unique history about the first time it was made, about the founder, the name or where does it come from. That’s why I decided that I’m going to tell more about different theories of different cocktails.

So, today we are talking about the Vodka Cocktails‘ theories-Welcome to my Faktails about cocktails !

1.The Bloody Mary Cocktail

2. The Cosmo

The Cosmo cocktail also has a specific red colour, but unlike the Bloody Mary, is transparent, and is famous since the 90s years. The theory tells that the cocktail exist since may be invented earlier, but wasn’t so popular

It is typical, that the cocktail has to be served in a large glass and doesn’t have to be served in a particular part of the day, can be served the whole day, not only evenings/nights. The reason may be the tender, delicate and unobtrusive taste.

Another theory is connected to the invention, when we think about the all the ingredients that contains, they have been all available in the 30s, so it could be invented then.

3. Moscow Mule

A lot of theories about the invention of the Moscow Mule go around the world. One of them tells about the invention it The United States of America,

It is usually served with a copper mug and it is served like this since a lot of time and now it is still served in a copper mug

Something really interesting about the Moscow Mule, unlike the other cocktail, is that there are so many variations, so that it is quite difficult to name the half of them. What I find really fun, is the fact, that the Name of the cocktail changes with the change of the ingredients and the new cocktail remains a „mule“, but changes the city/land in front of it. The ingredients may differ between Irish whiskey (Irish mule), Tequila (Mexican mule) and Jägermeister (Berlin Mule)
