Hello, fellow bartenders, home mixologists, and spirit connoisseurs. Let’s get a little technical with a quick educational moment. Today, we’re talking spirits. Most bartenders would say there are six main ones, and everything else is a variation: vodka, rum, whiskey, tequila, brandy, and gin. Classic cocktails typically feature one of these or a spin on them, making this lineup the perfect starting point for anyone building a home bar. We all usually have a favourite spirit — the one we reach for when trying out a new cocktail. But what about all the other classics out there? Do you actually know which spirit is the base in each one?
So let’s put your cocktail knowledge to the test. Here’s how it works: You’ll see a picture of a cocktail along with its name, and then you’ll have to choose from the six main spirits to figure out which one is the base. Think you’ve got this? Let’s find out…
How’d you do? Tell me in the comments, along with your ultimate favourite cocktail. I confess, I’m a martini girlie. Vodka, wet, extra dirty, to be exact. But I’ll never say no to a variation, whether it’s an espresso martini, a pumpkin spice version, or a classic cosmo. Honestly, I love them all.
