The earliest records point to a 1862 cocktail called ‘The Martinez’. Another story cites its origin in 1870 at Julio Richelieu’s Saloon in the town of Martinez, California. Still, others insist that Jerry Thomas of San Francisco was first to list the ‘Martinez’ cocktail in his bar book printed in 1887.

Shaken the way James Bond likes it.

Over the years the Martini Cocktail has become one of the best known alcoholic bever- ages due to its simplicity, sophistication and the ‘Pop Culture’ socialites that drank them. Today the craze for ‘designer’ Martinis live on with end- less variations that eventually lead to the demand for a specific type of glassware to serve them in.

The tapered shape of the Martini glass is to keep the heat of your hands from warming the contents, hence its long slim stem. “Candy is dandy. But liquor is quicker.” - Ogden Nash

The Origin of theCOCKTAIL A popular tale amongst mixologists is about a New Orleans bartender named Peychaud who served his patrons a drink named the egg-cup or ‘cocquetier’ in French which was shortened to ‘cocktay’ and eventually became ‘cocktail’. The French word ‘Coquetel’ may also have had something to do with ‘cocktail’ as it was the name of a mixed drink served to French soldiers during the American Revolution.

All Nightcaps are served as 11/2 ounces. The nightcap as a drink is an expres- sion that dates back to the 1700s, when folks donned nightcaps as a way of warming themselves and thus promoting better sleep. In a sense, the nightcap drink, which can really be any type of alcoholic drink, does provide warmth, and also generally makes one a little sleepy. Alcohol at first sedates, and it lowers the body’s tempera- ture, making one feel warmer. THE BIG EASY 10 Shots on a Paddle 35 Ask your server for the daily shot special.

The story of SHOTS According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word “shotglass” first appeared in print in the 1940s. A story ties the birth of the shot glass to the sound of a gunshot. Certain fraternal organizations have a custom of drinking toasts from specially shaped glasses known as "firing glasses", which comes from the French calling the toast "feu" or "fire". If the glass is slammed on the table, it makes a sound like a gunshot – a firing glass then becomes a "shot glass".

The most popular origin story is that the shot glass originated in the Western saloons of the Old West. It explains that cowboys would trade a cartridge (bullet plus powder and primer encased in brass) for a small amount of alcohol. "Money can't buy happiness.

Scholars con- tinue to debate its true country of origin. The gen- eral consensus suggests emergence from the Middle East.

There is an ancient Persian tale of a Princess who lost favor with the King. She attempted to poison herself by eating some table grapes that had "spoiled" in a jar. This caused the princess to become intoxicated and her wild antics throughout the night humored the guests of the royal court; this eventually helped her regain her father’s favor. The King shared his daughter's discovery with his kingdom and decreed an increase in the production of "spoiled" grapes...

Wine production in Canada has only been around for 200 years. The modern day success of Canadian wine goes back only a quarter of a century. Since the creation of the Vinters Quality Alliance (VQA), the voluntary initiatives taken by the leaders of the Canadian wine industry has set a standard comparable to the world’s most renowned wines.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, you happen to be a bottle of wine. - Joan Collins

There is an ongoing debate between bakers and brewers as to which came first, bread or beer. Both use yeast as a process of fermentation and one can even use bread to brew beer! The origin of beer can be traced to the ancient kingdoms of Mesopotamia in the Middle East.

The popularity of light beers can be traced back to World War 2. Food short- ages led to the use of more malt for fermentation resulting in a lighter beer that appealed to the female market left behind on the homefront.

The story ofGIN Gin was first created in Holland during the mid 17th century by the physician Franci- sus Sylvius. The name was derived from the dutch word ‘Jenever’ which means Juniper. Originally distilled from Juniper Berries, there are several distinct styles of Gin which infuses different blends of citruses, spices and botanicals. The misconception about its British origins stem from the most common style of Gin called ‘London Dry Gin’ which was popularized by the Gin and Tonic during the 18th century.

Gordon’s Dry Gin Bombay Sapphire Tanqueray Hendrick’s Spirit Bear Gin The story ofVODKA Derived from the slavic word ‘voda’ meaning water. It was first produced in Poland in the 1400’s, distilled from grain or potatoes. People near the area of vodka's probable origin have names for it with roots meaning "to burn". Despite this, it is currently the most popular spirit in the world because of its neutral taste and dozens of infusions of flavors. The versatility of Vodka in cocktails is limitless and will only fuel the worlds thirst for ‘aqua vitae’ (meaning ‘Water of Life’).

It is distilled from Blue Agave. By international law, Tequila must be produced in the state of Jalisco. Mexico is very sensitive about its exclusive rights; the concept of flavored Tequila’s has stirred con- troversy amongst it’s purists. Blanco (silver), Joven (gold), Resposado and Anejo denotes the aging process from youngest to oldest respectively. The common misconception about worms in Tequila was thanks to a clever marketing gimmick to push the sales of ‘Mezcal’ which unofficially was ‘Tequila’ made outside of Jalisco.

Several types of flavors come from the different aging processes which produce amber, dark and spiced varieties. The association with pirates and buccaneers stem from privateers illegally smuggling rum against the will of the British Navy. Books such as ‘Treasure Island’ romanticized the idea of rum loving pirates and helped promote popular brands such as Captain Morgan Spiced Rum.

Whiskey can be distilled from barley, malt, rye, wheat or corn. The aging process varies depending on the distillery and variety types can rest solely on its origins. Canadian whiskey is commonly referred to as Rye. Law dictates that all Bourbon Whiskey must be produced in the state of Kentucky. Techni- cally, Jack Daniels is Bourbon labelled as a Tennessee Whiskey because its its origins are in Tennessee and not Kentucky. Regard- less of what it may be called, the love for Whiskey is a global one as countries have adopted Whiskey in one form or another.

The first writ- ten mention of Scotch was in the late 1400’s. All Scotch is Whiskey but not all whiskey is Scotch; all Scotch must be aged in oak bar- rels for at least three years and their labels must be properly labelled accordingly under the careful watch of the Scotch Whisky Association. The difference between Single Malt whiskey and the Blended Malt Whiskey lie in the number of distilleries involved in producing the scotch.
