[Rasputin]

A cocktail is a style of mixed drink. A cocktail usually contains one or more types of liquor and flavorings, usually one or more of a liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, etc. The cocktail became popular during Prohibition in the United States primarily to mask the taste of bootlegged alcohol. The bartenders at a speakeasy would mix it with other ingredients, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. One of the oldest known cocktails, the Cognac-based Sazerac, dates from 1850s New Orleans, as many as 70 years prior to the Prohibition era.

Until the 1970s, cocktails were made predominantly with gin, whiskey or rum, and less commonly vodka. From the 1970s on, the popularity of vodka increased dramatically. By the 1980s it was the predominant base for mixed drinks. Many cocktails traditionally made with gin, such as the gimlet, or the martini, may now be served by default with vodka.

Carbonated beverages that are used nearly exclusively in cocktails include soda water, tonic water and seltzer. Liqueurs are also common cocktail ingredients.

The earliest known printed use of the word "cocktail," as originally determined by Dr. David Wondrich in October 2005, was from "The Farmer's Cabinet", April 28, 1803, p: "11. Drank a glass of cocktail--excellent for the head ... Call'd at the Doct's. found Burnham--he looked very wise--drank another glass of cocktail."

The second earliest and officially recognised known printed use of the word "cocktail" (and the most well-known) was in the May 13, 1806 edition of the Balance and Columbian Repository, a publication in Hudson, New York , where the paper provided the following answer to what a cocktail was:

"Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters--it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else."

The first publication of a bartenders' guide which included cocktail recipes was in 1862: How to Mix Drinks; or, The Bon Vivant's Companion, by Professor Jerry Thomas. In addition to listings of recipes for Punches, Sours, Slings, Cobblers, Shrubs, Toddies, Flips, and a variety of other types of mixed drinks were 10 recipes for drinks referred to as "Cocktails". A key ingredient which differentiated "cocktails" from other drinks in this compendium was the use of bitters as an ingredient, although it is not to be seen in very many modern cocktail recipes.

During Prohibition in the United States (1919-1933), when alcohol possession was illegal, cocktails were still consumed in establishments known as speakeasies. The quality of the alcohol available far lower than was previously used, and bartenders generally put forth less effort in preparing the cocktails.

How to Infuse Vodka With Flavor

Infusing your own vodka is the best way to add a twist and have a story to tell with every cocktail when entertaining. With plenty of your favorite vodka, a jar, some fruit, a discriminating palate and spare time, you can customize your vodka and make it your own.


Steps
Choose a Flavor. Decide how you want your vodka to taste, and get plenty of the desired fruits, berries, peppers or herbs.

If infusing fruit, use 1-3 good sized fruit.
If infusing herbs, use 1-2 fists filled of the herb (depending upon the potency of the herb).
If infusing berries, use 2-4 fists filled with the berries. You may also want to bruise (squish a little) them first.
If infusing peppers, use as many as you want. The more you use and the longer you infuse, the spicier the vodka will be.
Preparation. Wash and slice the fruits (this will speed up infusion by increasing surface area). However, leave berries whole. Place all of your ingredients together in an airtight sealed container. The relative proportions of each ingredient (if you're using more than one) are a matter of personal preference.
Infuse! Fill the container with vodka, seal it, and put it some place safe and away from direct sunlight.
Wait a week or two. The timing isn't scientific but at least wait five days. Generally, citrus fruits or strongly flavored ingredients might infuse in less than a week, but softly flavored or fibrous ingredients (strawberries, pineapple or fresh ginger) may need up to two weeks. Luckily, you need not do anything but ignore the jar.
Sample and enjoy! The first few batches you make may not taste the best, but over time you will get the hang of it. Drink, adjust, and try again!



Tips
Start with cheap vodkas, as you will probably make mistakes through trial and error before getting it right.
There's a wide variety of fruits and herbs you can infuse with, each with their own characteristics. Experiment and enjoy.

Mellow: cantaloupe, peach, strawberry, cherry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, pineapple, mango and vanilla beans
Sharp: lemon, lime or grapefruit
Bold: fresh ginger, lemon-grass, herbs, garlic or chili peppers
If you find your infusion too strong, dilute it with more vodka and allow it to infuse a little longer.
Try 2 sticks of cinnamon and half a vanilla pod. After two weeks you will get a deep orange colour and a full, rich spicy flavour. Try it with homemade Ginger beer in the summer - superb.
Adding a sprinkle of sugar on the fruit can enhance and speed up the infusion process, especially if your creations are turning out to be a little too weak in the flavour department.
Another spirit that infuses well is Cachaca, a Brazilian rum made from pressed sugar cane.
In Sweden, infused vodkas are known as schnapps, and a customary part of the Christmas smorgasbord.



Warnings
Chutney, kiwi, and apple are probably best avoided as an infusion ingredient.
If you are displaying your infusion jar, be prepared for the color to leave the fruit over time. Thus your strawberries may turn a ghostly white!



Things You'll Need
750mL - 1L Vodka.
Infuser (Fruit, peppers, herbs, berries, etc.)
Jar with airtight sealing lid.
Time.
