Find Out How Are Most Common Alcoholic Drinks Made

When it comes to the collection of spirits, you can find many of them ranging from whiskey and rum to Vermouth, gin, and vodka. Here are the most common alcoholic drinks you may not know from what they are made.  

  1. Whiskey

Among the distilled spirits, whiskey is the most diverse one, with intricate distillation processes and delicate flavors. Whiskeys are mostly distilled from malted cereal grains like barley, wheat, corn, and rye. Some of them are aged for several years and then reduced to 45 percent alcohol content before bottling. You can find four distinctively distilled whiskeys like Scotch, Irish, blended American, and Canadian whiskeys. 


Some exceptionally good and award-winning whiskeys worth trying are Aerolite Lyndsay, Benromach, Compass Box limited edition, Cotswolds, Hazelburn, and Kilchoman Machir Bay.

 

  1. Rum

Rum is one of the most favored alcoholic drinks at bars, including tiki bars and poolside bars. A distilled spirit made using sugarcane’s byproducts, especially molasses. You can find several types of rums like dark, light, aged, and spiced rums with alcohol content ranging from 40 percent to 75 percent ABV (Alcohol by volume) depending on the type. Those looking for the best rums can try El Dorado, Rumbullion, and Twin Fin.

  

  1. Cognac

Cognac is distilled from grapes and is a type of brandy produced mostly in the western parts of France. Most cognacs you come across are blends called Eaux-de-vie, which are made by blending distilled spirits. Some popular cognacs include Delamain, Hennessy, Remy Martin, and Camus.

  1. Vermouth

One of the classic collections of spirits to have in your bar is Vermouth, for it is indispensable for crafting cocktails. Without Vermouth as a flavoring ingredient, you can hardly enjoy Manhattan, Martini, Rob Roy, Negroni, and Gibson. Vermouth is more of fortified white wine than a distilled spirit. Moreover, it is aromatized by infusing herbs and spices into it. You cannot miss having Mancino Rosso, Mancino Secco, and Dolin Vermouth.


  1. Gin

With dominant botanical flavors, particularly juniper, gin is a clear, distilled alcoholic beverage available in two types – distilled and redistilled gin. Made from a grain base, mostly barley or wheat, gin includes botanicals, herbs, and spices to attain the desired flavor. Other than the most common botanical juniper berries, citrus peel and rosemary are also added for different flavors and styles. 


You can have some award-winning collections of gin like Cotswolds, Citadelle Jardin d’Été, Le Gin Christian Drouin, Martin Miller’s Summerful, and Tarquin’s Rhubarb & Raspberry.

    

  1. Vodka

The popularity of vodka lies in its distillation. Traditional vodka is made from cereal grains or potatoes, which is a clear spirit with no flavor. Vodka is increasingly used in cocktails like Cosmopolitan and Vodka Martini. Some famous ones to include on your list are Fair Vodka, Chopin Potato Vodka, and Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka.
