All of these are distilled spirits, which means they undergo another process after fermentation. There are six main spirits, or liquors, that serve as the base for most drinks: vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy and whiskey. The fermented liquid is heated, then the resulting vapor is cooled and turned back into a liquid. With distillation, the alcohol is separated from the fermented liquid through a process of heating and condensation. Alcohol is produced when the yeast acts on the sugar. Alcoholic fermentation starts with a liquid raw material containing sugar, which is followed by the addition of yeast. Fermented alcohol: Includes wine, fortified wine (such as vermouth or sherry), sparkling wine (champagne, prosecco, etc.) and beer.Īll alcohol begins as fermented alcohol, but not all alcohol is distilled.Distilled spirits: Includes high-proof base spirits (vodka, whiskey, tequila, rum, brandy and gin) as well as liqueurs (coffee liqueur, amaretto, Irish cream, etc.) which tend to be lower proof.There are two main types of alcohol: distilled spirits and fermented alcohol.

Served on the rocks for "sippers.When stocking your liquor cabinet at home or ordering at a restaurant or bar, there are so many choices. For one I used the 2 T of maple syrup, and for the other I used 1T maple syrup and 1 T apple cider, and they were both winners. It's a GO! Tried one with nutmeg and one with pumpkin pie spice and both were great. I "test drove" this recipe today today to preview it for Thanksgiving. I'd love to just have these ready as guests arrive. Hey, can you give advice on mixing a batch/pitcher of these? Because nothing says "make ahead" more than Thanksgiving. Very nice combination of a little sweet and a little tart. This is now part of our cocktail repertoire!ĭammmmmmn this is delicious! Strain your citrus for a cleaner sip. I have also made this with bourbon when we ran out of applejack (!!) and it’s just as good. I agree with another reviewer that it is good to strain the citrus juice. I love the thought of "test driving" a recipe. This is now a go-to fall cocktail in my house after serving it to family last Thanksgiving. I made this last year after seeing it in the fall issue. Now I just need a coupe glass to enjoy it even more. My fiance and I enjoyed this during our Quarantine Thanksgiving for 2 this year! Really great drink! Tart and well balanced with a nice punch, it's perfect for the fall season. The bottle was drained in less than an hour.

I brought this drink to a Thanksgiving dinner in 2019 (pre-COVID times) and my wife told me that we would be the only ones drinking it. Great fall cocktail-I left out the maple syrup as I prefer my cocktails not so sweet :) I just got into mixing drinks and this was my first time using a shaker. Always impresses dinner guests, so good with bourbon barrel maple
