Cooking whiskey
Scotland is considered the birthplace of whiskey. It was in this state that an alcoholic masterpiece with a tart, unique aroma appeared. In Russia, whiskey arose relatively recently, so not many connoisseurs managed to try it and began to consume it correctly.
An alcoholic beverage is produced using sophisticated technology, which does not consist of one step. In addition, whiskey for a long time stored in oak barrels. In this regard, it is considered an expensive alcoholic beverage with a unique and vibrant taste, as well as a strong and rich aroma.
Cocktails made on the basis of whiskey, in comparison with other alcoholic drinks, are the most delicious and fragrant. Since, when supplementing alcohol with fruit juice, for example, apple juice, whiskey is not so strong and with a milder taste.
This tandem is the most popular drink, for the simple reason that whiskey with apple juice is the most beneficial combination. The taste of whiskey wonderfully complements the taste of juice. Many lovers of alcoholic drinks aged in oak barrels do not even mix these two drinks with each other. They drink whiskey and then drink it with juice, enjoying a pleasant aftertaste.
How to take whiskey for a cocktail?

As a rule, experienced bartenders choose American or Irish whiskey to create a cocktail. Pay attention to varieties with "flower", "herbal" and "honey" notes.
Whiskey with a smack of smoke or a pronounced taste of peat will not create a good tandem for a cocktail with apple juice. He will be able to give a degree, but his basic notes will sound quite inappropriately against the background of the sweet and sour taste of the fruit.

Such juice is well absorbed by the body, saturating it with useful properties. Also in its composition there is no sugar, which is usually filled with factory juice and nectar.
