List of cocktails

List of cocktails is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand List of cocktails rather than just read about it. In short: A cocktail is a mixed drink typically made with a distilled liquor (such as arrack, brandy, cachaça, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, or whiskey) as its base ingredient that is then mixed with other ingredients or garnishments. Sweetened liqueurs, wine, or beer may also serve as the base or be added.

Key takeaways

List of cocktails belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect List of cocktails to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of List of cocktails from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

A cocktail is a mixed drink typically made with a distilled liquor (such as arrack, brandy, cachaça, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, or whiskey) as its base ingredient that is then mixed with other ingredients or garnishments. Sweetened liqueurs, wine, or beer may also serve as the base or be added. If beer is one of the ingredients, the drink is called a beer cocktail. Cocktails often also contain various types of juice, fruit, honey, milk or cream, spices, or other flavorings. Cocktails may vary in their ingredients from bartender to bartender, and from region to region. Two creations may have the same name but taste very different because of differences in how the drinks are prepared. This article is organized by the primary type of alcohol (by volume) contained in the beverage. Cocktails marked with "IBA" are designated as IBA official cocktails by the International Bartenders Association, and are some of the most popular cocktails worldwide.

Historical classes of cocktails

By mixer

Strawberry Strawberries can be muddled or puréed and added to many drinks, and they are liquor-friendly, being compatible with, e.g., bourbon whiskey, Cointreau, vodka, tequila, rum, and Champagne, among other spirits and liqueurs and so on. Some recipes call for a strawberry syrup that can be made using strawberries, vanilla extract, sugar, and water. Some strawberry cocktail recipes do not call for a syrup, but rely on puréed strawberries to play that part. Strawberries are often mixed with basil. Strawberry is popular in smashes since after the beverage has been drunk, the alcohol-infused strawberries can be consumed as well.

Champagne bowler (Cognac, white wine, sparkling wine, simple syrup, strawberries) Cherub's cup (vodka, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, brut rosé sparkling wine, lemon juice, simple syrup, strawberry) Christmas Jones (vodka, sugar, pineapple juice, lemon-lime soda, strawberries) Fresh strawberry and lime Tom Collins (gin, lime juice, club soda, agave, strawberries) Kentucky kiss (Maker's Mark bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, club soda, strawberries) Strawberry beer margarita (tequila, Corona beer, limeade concentrate, lemon lime soda, strawberries) Strawberry berryoska (Russian standard vodka, lemonade, strawberries) Strawberry gin and tonic (gin, lime juice, orange bitters, tonic water, strawberry syrup) Strawberry gin smash (gin, strawberries, sugar, lime juice, elderflower liquor, club soda, mint sprigs) Strawberry mint sparkling limeade (Champagne, mint leaves, lime juice, honey) Strawberry pom mojito (white rum, mint leaves, lime juice, pomegranate juice, club soda or lime soda, strawberries) Strawberry rose gin fizz (gin, sugar, rose water, salt, club soda, strawberries) Strawberry smash (vodka, basil leaves, lemon juice, honey, club soda, strawberries) Strawberry whiskey lemonade (whiskey, lemon juice, strawberry syrup) Strawberry Mango Bourbon Smash (bourbon, strawberries, mango juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, ginger beer)

Carrot juice Carrot juice can be mixed with spirits such as agave spirits, whiskey, tequila, gin, or mezcal. Vodka is sometimes chosen because its neutral taste allows more of the carrot juice taste to shine through. Carrot juice can also be mixed with liqueurs such as amaro. ginger, orange, lemon and honey can be other ingredients in carrot juice cocktails. Turmeric infusions are also common. Examples of drinks made with carrot juice include:

24 Carrot Gold Punch (gin, carrot juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, ginger beer, pineapple slices, edible flowers) Jessica Rabbit (Big Gin, carrot juice, yellow Chartreuse, kümmel, lime juice, lime oleo saccharum, carrot top oil, arugula flower)

Pineapple juice

Includes pineapple juice and Jägermeister) Electric shark (rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, ginger beer) Jungle Bird (dark rum, campari, simple syrup, pineapple juice, lime juice) Piña colada (light rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut) Shark bite (coconut rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao) Torpedo Juice (ethyl alcohol and pineapple juice) Wiki wiki (rum, mango brandy, lime juice, pineapple juice, cane syrup, kiwi) Yaka hula hickey dula (dark rum, dry vermouth, pineapple juice)

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of cocktails

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of cocktails claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of cocktails before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of cocktails ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of cocktails

In research: List of cocktails appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of cocktails in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of cocktails is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Alcohol-related lists, Lists of cocktails, Mixed drinks, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for List of cocktails outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
