Stranded on a Desert Island? This Well-Traveled Bartender Thinks These Are the 5 Bottles You Need.

"You’re trapped on a desert island, but the good news is that you can bring five bottles of booze with you to pass the time. Look, there’s even ice and bar tools—you’re all set. What would you choose?

Rob Mariani is a world-traveling cocktail enthusiast currently behind the stick at Alley Twenty Six in Durham, North Carolina. Under the name Behind the Stick Provisions, he recently launched Alley Twenty Six Tonic Syrup. The versatile reddish-hued syrup is a flavorful and potent concoction made with cinchona bark, lemongrass, lime and sugar. While he threatens to sneak a bottle of his own tonic syrup with him onto the island, these are his top five picks..."

10 Things Noone Told You About Alcohol

"Drinking has been so widespread throughout history that Patrick McGovern, an archaeological chemist at the University of Pennsylvania, called it "a universal language" in an Economist article. Indeed, you're hard-pressed to find a culture or event in history that alcohol (or lack of it) didn't feature in some way.

In a sense, alcoholic beverages are just a simple matter of chemistry and physiology. When yeast cells consume carbohydrates in grains, vegetables or fruits, they produce a fluid called ethyl alcohol. The latter, when ingested by humans, is converted into a chemical called acetaldehyde, and then eventually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. While ethyl alcohol is toxic in large enough doses, in more moderate quantities it merely relaxes the muscles and stimulates the brain by depressing inhibitions [source: Encyclopaedia Britannica].

But that explanation hardly does justice to a substance that people have been eagerly producing and consuming since the dawn of human civilization. The ancient Sumerians, who lived 4,500 years ago, even worshipped a goddess, Ninkasi, who ruled over the brewing and distributing of beer to the populace. In a royal tomb, we find figures sucking brew with straws out of what resembles a modern beer keg [source: Gately]. Who knew?.."

5 Star Wars Cocktails from a Galaxy Far, Far Away

"It has been 40 years since the world first laid eyes on Luke, Leia, Solo, Chewie and their merry droid friends. (OK, maybe C3PO is a bit more maudlin than merry, but can you blame his fretful nature with so much unrest in the galaxy?) And it appears our fascination with them, and every teased out branch of the Star Wars franchise since, hasn’t waned since the release of the first film back in 1977.

Is Vodka Healthier than Wine?

"Since the beginning of time, humankind has experimented with elixirs to treat a variety of ailments. We’ve all heard that a glass of red wine a day if allegedly good for cardiovascular health, but what about vodka?

Do You Know The Differences Between Tequila and Mezcal?

Agave is a magical plant. 

With over 200 known species, many of which can be made into myriad byproducts, it is a diverse, multifaceted entity. Perhaps the best-known (and most loved) uses for agave are tequila and mezcal.

Whether sipped neat or served in a Margarita, tequila is one of America’s favorite spirits — and it’s on the rise. Last year, tequila consumption grew 7.4 percent.

Mezcal is relatively new to the States, but it is picking up steam as unique bottles with innovative flavors and strong tradition are increasingly available. Both are staples for any good bar or beverage program.

The basics

To fully appreciate both spirits, you first have to understand the agave plant.

Indigenous to Mexico and the southern United States, agave thrives in arid desert environments. But don’t assume it’s part of the cactus family just because they share a homeland. Agave is actually in the same family as asparagus..." ~ Read more: https://vinepair.com/articles/difference-agave-tequila-mezcal/
