Whiskey is an extensive family that includes several dozen varieties. It is believed that this drink is more suitable for men, because its strength is from 45 to 70%. In general, this is a completely democratic drink that allows for variability in use. However, there are a number of rules that apply to whiskey drinking.
Whiskey is a gourmet drink
According to the inhabitants of the small homeland of Scotland Whiskey, this drink should be drunk exclusively diluted with water. Some whiskey connoisseurs would have made an angry face and vehemently protested against this, but in any case, this moment is left to everyone's discretion. Invite guests to decide for themselves whether to drink pure whiskey or not. By the way, most often this drink is diluted with mineral water.
As for adding ice to a glass of whiskey, then hardly anyone would argue. Whiskey in this form is definitely good. This way of drinking the drink has its roots in the United States. It should be said that whiskey should be eaten chilled in small sips.
Drinking whiskey with tea is less popular in Russia. True, the tea should be green. This combination is great to drink in cool weather. A less sophisticated but much more popular combination of whiskey and coca-cola. It is enough to dilute the whiskey cola, and the fastest intoxication is guaranteed. The glucose in cola promotes the rapid release of alcohol into the bloodstream. This combination has become famous in nightclubs.
There is also a mixture of whiskey and beer. It is worth saying that such a combination of drinks will be to the taste of a few. Beer does not fully reveal the taste of whiskey, but some gourmets are ready to argue with this.
There is no doubt that whiskey goes well with coffee. The Irish believe that such a drink is useful for people who have had a heart attack. And in Russia, whiskey with coffee is just good after dinner with a cigar as a dessert, it perfectly cheers you up.
As a base for cocktails
Whiskey is organically included in many cocktails. Whiskey with milk has become a favorite combination of connoisseurs. It would seem that this cannot be combined, but the Americans thought differently and combined whiskey, milk and added a little sugar. Such a cocktail is prepared using an ordinary shaker. You can also try to simply wash down the whiskey with milk to extinguish the bitterness of the aftertaste.
Mix fresh apple juice with whiskey, add ice and lime and another shake is ready. Apple juice can be substituted for orange or cherry juice. Many connoisseurs of whiskey do not accept such combinations, considering them meaningless.
Whatever way you choose to taste whiskey, you can definitely say that whiskey is the drink that will not only improve your mood, but also enjoy an unsurpassed taste, provided that it is a real elite drink.
