Alcoholic beverages

Strong alcohol contains from 30 to 80% alcohol. It differs in composition, color, organoleptic properties.

There are table, dessert and other varieties of alcohol beverages offered by many brands and manufacturers. The abundance of offers allow you to make the optimal choice with its own taste, strength and composition.

Varieties

Strong alcohol includes the following categories of alcohol-containing liquids:

• vodka, cognac, gin;
• bitters, whiskey;
• liqueur, sambuca, brandy;
• absinthe, rum.

Each type of alcohol has special recognizable features with a characteristic aftertaste. They are determined by the traditions of nation and localities that historically produce certain drinks. Thus, cognac can have a taste of tannins with a barely noticeable vanilla aroma. Liqueur is addressed to lovers of sweet drinks, and classic white vodka does not contain any additives.

Elite varieties are defined in a separate segment. This is expensive alcohol with a long aging period. It is made from specially selected raw materials using patented production technologies.

How to drink alcohol

Due to the high proportion of alcohol content, such products have restrictions on consumption. It is believed that a single dose should not exceed 150 - 200 ml. It is determined taking into account:

• The physique of a human;
• Health features;
• The number and quality of dishes that are on the table.

It is not recommended to drink alcohol on an empty stomach, in large portions, or wash it down with soda.

Selection and purchase

Before buying strong alcoholic drinks, check the composition and conditions of use. So, vodka is served chilled. Brandy or cognac acquires maximum flavor saturation when slightly warmed. Also consider the following indicators:

• The amount of sugar. For example, liqueurs are sweet varieties.
• The presence of additives. Their list and types depend on the manufacturer and the specific drink. Natural herbs, hot peppers, fruit infusions (for example, pears, grapes, raisins, lemon) are added to the composition. This gives a unique, memorable taste, and allows you to accurately determine the varieties you like in the abundance of offers.
• Alcohol content. Thus, for strong drinks Stark it varies from 38 to 42 degrees.

The composition should not contain chemical flavors or other additives of artificial origin.

Alcohol should be purchased in reliable, proven stores. Only in this case can you count on proper quality. Buying from hands is excluded, and an inadequately low price is a sign of a fake.
