Select Your Spirits of Choice
The spirits that you enjoy should be varied. While it’s easy to find a favorite and stick with it, take the time to explore various types of liquor and even different brands to discover what tickles your fancy and works well in your drink of choice.
The Language of Liquor
Discussing your preferences requires that you understand the typical language used to describe various styles of liquor and ways to drink it.
If you prefer your drink sans ice, order it neat. Want ice? Ask for it on the rocks. For a drink chilled by being shaken with ice and then served in a stemmed cocktail glass, request that it be up.
A single is a shot, and a double is two shots. A drink served short is in a rocks glass with a 1:1 ratio of liquor to mixer, and a tall comes in a taller glass with twice or three times the amount of mixer than liquor.
How to Enjoy Vodka
Investing in quality vodka like Ketel One or Smirnoff will make your drink much smoother. Another key is to drink vodka cold; many vodka aficionados choose to store their vodka in the freezer. Drinking vodka straight should be a slow process that allows you to relish the aromas and flavors of the drink.
If you’re drinking with a meal, you’re in luck. Vodka is neutral and crisp, so you can plan to enjoy it with a variety of food options. It’s also an excellent foundation for cocktails and can be mixed with juice, tonic, and even other liquors.
How to Enjoy Whiskey
When drinking whiskey, follow the appropriate steps for taking in the experience. Use all of your senses to appreciate the color, smells, warmth, and flavor of the spirit.
- Swirl the whiskey in the glass.
- Gently sniff the whiskey.
- Sip slowly and make sure the whole mouth is exposed.
With ice or a splash of water, you can enhance the flavors of the whiskey. You can also enjoy it neat or in a cocktail, like an Old Fashioned.
How to Drink Rum
Rum with a high alcohol content and additives may be appealing financially, but they won’t provide the quality flavor you’ll find with a better rum. Look for 45% ABV or less for neat servings and add ice for rums with more alcohol content. Rums also serve as the base for many different cocktails.
How to Drink Brandy
Enjoy brandy without ice and focus the liquor toward your nose and mouth and drink slowly in order to appreciate all of its aromas and flavors.
