<h2>About LIIT</h2><p>The origin of LIIT has two conflicting claims competing for the creation. One of which is from a bartender named Robert Butt, who worked at the Oak Beach Inn in Long Island. According to him, he invented the drink in 1972 as part of a competition that required triple sec. He mixed tequila, vodka, gin, rum, triple sec, and a splash of coke to create the drink. Although no concrete evidence exists, the beverage quickly became popular with the masses.</p><p>However, a strikingly similar <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://zeezest.com/food/7-beginner-friendly-classic-cocktails-to-add-to-your-diwali-party-menu-4390">cocktail</a> had already emerged during the '20s, when prohibition was in full swing. That drink was reportedly created by an illegal distiller known as Charlie ‘Old Man’ Bishop in Kingsport, Tennessee, a community that was also often referred to as Long Island. His son, Ramson bishop, added cola, lemon and lime to the recipe, although it still didn’t contain triple sec.</p><h2>Variations</h2><ol><li><strong>Tennessee Iced tea: </strong>If you fancy whiskey, this one’s for you. Replace gin with <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://zeezest.com/food/the-different-types-of-whiskey-explained-2166">Tennessee whiskey </a>and leave out the tequila for that earthy twist.</li><li><strong>Tropical LIIT: </strong>Nothing says tropical as much as adding just a bit of pineapple juice to the mix. It does make the cocktail just a bit sweeter though.</li><li><strong>Spicy LIIT:</strong> If you like it hot however, you could experiment with adding a few dashes of hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño for that spicy kick.</li><li><strong>Fruity LIIT: </strong>For a sweet fruity twist, muddle some fresh strawberries in the cocktail shaker before adding the other ingredients. You could also use peach schnapps as a tangy refreshing addition.</li><li><strong>Mint LIIT: </strong>For a subtle but herby refreshing flavour, you could muddle a few mint leaves in the cocktail shaker before adding the other ingredients.</li></ol><h2>Pro Tips</h2><ol><li>For a sweeter drink, you could either add fresh juices or 5-10ml of sugar syrup to the mix.</li><li>To avoid diluting the drink, use rather large ice cubes as they take longer to melt.</li><li>If you’re feeling fancy, you can switch the cola with other <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://zeezest.com/food/7-indian-hard-seltzers-to-beat-the-heat-3872">aerated drinks</a>. This however will alter the taste just a tad bit. Remember it’s merely the mixing agent, not the base.</li><li>LIIT is a strong cocktail by design as it mixes a variety of liqueurs. Make sure you’re cognizant of the ratios or it can easily become an overpowering mix.</li></ol><h2>Recap</h2><h3>Directions</h3><ol><li>Fill the glass with ice cubes</li><li>Pour 10ml lime juice</li><li>Pour 15ml of vodka</li><li>Pour 15ml of gin</li><li>Pour 15ml of tequila</li><li>Pour 15ml of triple sec</li><li>Pour 15ml of white rum</li><li>Add more ice till the top of the glass</li><li>Pour cola till the top</li><li>Mildly stir it</li><li>Garnish with a lemon slice</li></ol>

The Long Island Iced Tea, or LIIT, is a strong and legendary cocktail known for its deceptive appearance and a mix of various spirits. Despite its name, it doesn't contain any tea but instead blends vodka, rum, gin, tequila, triple sec, sour mix, and cola, resulting in a smooth and boozy drink with a taste like that of an iced tea.

<h2>About classic Gin and Tonic</h2><p>The very popular and beloved Gin and Tonic, also called G&T started off as a medically prescribed drink. First created in Holland, Gin was a form of medicine in the 17th century and was known as Genever. During that time, along with other botanicals such as star anise and coriander seeds, juniper was believed to have medicinal properties. It was distilled with malt Spirit, which then created the Genevar. The British discovered the Genevar during the Thirty Years' War when the British soldiers fought against the Dutch. It became increasingly popular by 1720, and most houses in London had begun to make their own Gin.<br>Several years later, anybody and everybody had started producing Gin. As a result, several legislative acts had been passed to restrict the production of poor quality Gin. When the British colonised India, they had to live in warmer climates. Malaria was quite prevalent during the time, and hence to ward off the disease, they started to use the bitter-tasting quinine, extracted from the cinchona bark. This in turn was made into a tonic by dissolving it in water and adding sugar to sweeten the drink. As soon as the people’s favourite spirit was added to it, they now had a drink which not only tasted delicious but also prevented them from falling ill.<br>Gin and Tonic thus became one of the fastest-growing drinks in the world. Since then, the drink has been infused with a number of changes and makers around the world have added their own variations to it. Watermelon makes a great addition to this iconic drink, making it as refreshing as ever!</p><h2>Watermelon G&T, what else?</h2><p>The watermelon G&T itself is a riff on the traditional classic G&T, which is just Gin and Tonic water. There are various variations that can be done with the conventional G&T, it is all about personalising the favourite cocktail! If you like your cocktail to be spicy and hit you right on those taste buds, the Spiced Orange and Cinnamon G&T is just the one for you. It is a blend of fresh orange and flavours of cinnamon that is a perfect seasonal cocktail. The Spiced Orange and Cinnamon G&T is perfect to have on cold autumn nights. </p><h2>Pro Tips</h2><ol><li>We often forget to or just simply do not taste the tonics and gins before purchasing a certain variety. It is very important to understand which gin and tonic go best together to level up your cocktail game. </li><li>Use a larger ice cube for the drink. This will keep your cocktail chilled as you sip through it.</li><li>A cucumber ribbon goes best with a Watermelon G&T. </li><li>Use a premium quality of Gin, such as the conventional Bombay Sapphire to get the right taste of the drink. </li></ol><h2>Recap</h2><h3>Directions</h3><ol><li>Add freshly sliced watermelon and rosemary to a mixing jar, and muddle</li><li>Fill a glass with ice</li><li>Add the lime juice and gin</li><li>Stir well</li><li>Add the ice cubes to a cocktail glass</li><li>Double-strain the drink before adding it to the cocktail glass</li><li>Top it up with the tonic water</li><li>Garnish with another rosemary and a watermelon slice</li></ol>

Gin and Tonic made with fresh, cool watermelon is just the perfect drink to please a crowd! Gin and Tonic is the most iconic cocktail of all time, and when served with watermelon it is no doubt the most refreshing drink ever. What’s not to love about a Watermelon G&T!

<h2>About Negroni</h2><p>Its origin can be traced back to Caffe Casoni in Florence, Italy.  According to the legends, this widely loved aperitif was made famous by Count Camillo Negroni, who travelled frequently to the United States. One time, he asked his friend to enhance his Americano, he obliged and replaced the soda water with a much stronger gin and added an orange slice as the garnish instead of the usual lime the drink took off, and people flocked to the bar asking for the classic Negroni. The family took advantage of the success and founded the Negroni Distillery in 1919 in Treviso, Italy, where they sold Antico Negroni, a ready-made version of the drink.</p><p><strong>Some variations to mix things up a little</strong></p><ol><li><strong>The Boulevardier:</strong> Replacing the gin with rye whiskey will give you a boulevardier. Notes from the sweet vermouth and Campari are balanced by the powerful flavours of this whiskey giving you a sharper drink.</li><li><strong>Mezcal Negroni:</strong> Mezcal, a spirit hailing from Mexico is used instead of gin in this variation. Mezcal is smoky and earthy in taste and balances the sweet and bitter flavours of the Negroni.</li><li><strong>The Gloria: </strong>The Gloria cocktail ramps up the gin and reduces the Campari while adding in a bit of Cointreau and dry vermouth. The Cointreau mellows out the sharp dry vermouth, and the gin adds edge to any overwhelming sweet flavours.</li><li><strong>White Negroni:</strong> The Campari and sweet vermouth are replaced with Lillet Blanc and dry vermouth. A French wine-based aperitif, Lillet Blanc adds crisp floral notes to the cocktail.</li><li><strong>Cold brew Negroni: </strong>A lesser explored option, coffee-infused Negroni blends the silkiness of the cold brew with Negroni’s rougher edges, and the fusion is an odd and enticing mix. </li><li><strong>Negroni sbagliato:</strong> Made famous recently on social media, this is the cocktail for you if you like your Negroni a little lighter. Replace the gin with prosecco, and you’ve got yourself a sbagliato.</li></ol><h2>Pro tips</h2><ol><li>For a sweeter yet spiced version, add a few drops of anise liquor to your negroni.</li><li>Make sure you stir and not shake your Negroni to avoid diluting the drink.</li><li>Smoke the peel a bit and spritz over the glass to release the smokey aromas. </li><li>Negroni is best paired with salty dishes, cured meats, and certain varieties of cheeses. </li><li>If it’s too bitter and punchy for you, make it with rosé vermouth instead.</li></ol><h2>Recap</h2><h3>Directions</h3><ol><li>Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes</li><li>Pour 30ml Campari</li><li>Pour 30ml of sweet vermouth</li><li>Pour 30ml of gin</li><li>Stir it well </li><li>In an old-fashioned glass add a clear ice cube</li><li>Strain the drink into the glass</li><li>Garnish with a dehydrated orange slice and burnt rosemary</li></ol>

A timeless and iconic cocktail with a perfect balance of bold flavours, it combines gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth. Originating in Italy, the Negroni has a distinct crimson hue and a bitter-sweet taste. While it may look like a sweet drink, it is revered for its strong, bitter-sweet notes.
