Boomerang (cocktail)
A Boomerang cocktail is a specific cocktail dating back to the early 20th century. In the 21st century, it may also be a reference to cocktails that bartenders illegally shuttle back and forth between bars as a way of sharing experimentation or building comradery. Boomerang as a specific cocktail The ''Official Mixer's Manual'' lists the popularized version of the Boomerang Cocktail as calling for: * 1/3 Rye Whiskey * 1/3 Swedish Punsch * 1/3 Dry Vermouth * 1 dash Angostura bitters * 1 dash lemon juice To be stirred well with ice and strained into a glass. The ''Cafe Royal Cocktail Book'' lists the same recipe. The ''Savoy Cocktail Book'' lists the same recipe, but calls for "Canadian Club whisky" instead of rye. ''The Standard Cocktail Guide'' employed rye whiskey but calls for different proportions, with 1 oz rye, 3/4 oz. swedish punsch, 3/4 oz. sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of lemon juice, and 1 dash of Angostura bitters. Trader Vic lists the same recipe in his 1947 ''Bartender's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rye Whiskey
Rye whiskey can refer to two different, but related, types of whiskey: * American rye whiskey, which is similar to bourbon whiskey, but must be distilled from at least 51 percent rye grain * Canadian whisky, which is often referred to as (and often labelled as) rye whisky for historical reasons, although it may or may not actually include any rye grain in its production process. American rye whiskey In the United States, rye whiskey is, by law, made from a mash of at least 51 percent rye. (The other ingredients in the mash are usually corn and malted barley.) It is distilled to no more than 160 U.S. proof (80% abv) and aged in charred, new oak barrels. The whiskey must be put in the barrels at no more than 125 proof (62.5% abv). Rye whiskey that has been aged for at least two years and has not been blended with other spirits may be further designated as straight, as in "straight rye whiskey".

Barkcloth
Barkcloth or bark cloth is a versatile material that was once common in Asia, Africa, and the Pacific. Barkcloth comes primarily from trees of the family Moraceae, including ''Broussonetia papyrifera'', '' Artocarpus altilis'', ''Artocarpus tamaran'', and ''Ficus natalensis''. It is made by beating sodden strips of the fibrous inner bark of these trees into sheets, which are then finished into a variety of items. Many texts that mention "paper" clothing are actually referring to barkcloth. Some modern cotton-based fabrics are also named "barkcloth" for their resemblance to these traditional fabrics. Traditional Austronesia Before the development of woven textiles, barkcloth made from trees belonging to the mulberry family (Moraceae) were an important aspect of the pre-Austronesian and Austronesian material culture during the Neolithic period. Stone barkcloth beaters, in particular, are considered part of the "Austronesian toolkit." They have been found in abundance in the ...

Cocktails With Angostura Bitters
A cocktail is an alcoholic mixed drink. Most commonly, cocktails are either a combination of spirits, or one or more spirits mixed with other ingredients such as tonic water, fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream. Cocktails vary widely across regions of the world, and many websites publish both original recipes and their own interpretations of older and more famous cocktails. History The origins of the word ''cocktail'' have been debated (see section Etymology). The first written mention of ''cocktail'' as a beverage appeared in ''The Farmers Cabinet,'' 1803 in the United States. The first definition of a cocktail as an alcoholic beverage appeared three years later in ''The Balance and Columbian Repository'' (Hudson, New York) May 13, 1806. Traditionally, cocktail ingredients included spirits, sugar, water and bitters, however, this definition evolved throughout the 1800s, to include the addition of a liqueur.

Atomic (cocktail)
The Atomic cocktail is a champagne cocktail that was popularized by the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce and local casinos in the 1950s. During this period, Las Vegas was sometimes called the "Atomic City". The name has been used generically to refer to many similarly themed cocktails that were created around the same period, usually referencing atoms, nuclear fission, or rocket flights. Atomic cocktail recipe An Atomic cocktail recipe as described by noted cocktail historian David Wondrich calls for equal parts vodka and brandy (or Cognac) that is either stirred or shaken with a small amount of sherry, then strained, and finally mixed with Brut (dry) champagne, frequently described as being garnished with an orange wedge. A US Army information film from the era featured some versions that were actively bubbling, likely the effect of dry ice. "Atomic cocktails" as used generically The Atomic Age, Jet Age and Space Age influenced popular culture in terms of architecture, furni ...

Tiki Bar TV
''Tiki Bar TV'' was a web series distributed in the pioneering field of video podcasting or "vodcast." Each episode features a problem that is rectified by the episode's namesake cocktail, which is scribbled on a prescription pad by ''Dr. Tiki'' and "filled" by bartender ''Johnny Johnny'' who explains how to make the cocktail. Examples include the Suffering Bastard (episode 2), Fog Cutter (episode 8), Volcano Bowl (episode 11), Boomerang (episode 14), and Blue Hawaiian (episode 25). The drinks did not always follow conventional recipes. ''Lala'' is the Tiki Bar's primary denizen who opens each episode with a dance. Most episodes also include a segment called "Tiki Mail," where mail from viewers or disgruntled neighbours is answered, and then ends with outtakes or the cast dancing. Originally shot in an apartment's tiki bar on a low budget, the humorous and heavily ad-libbed show was a creative outlet for its creators Jeff Macpherson and Kevin Gamble. The show garnered additional ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Atomic Age (design)
Atomic Age in design refers to the period roughly corresponding to 1940–1963, when concerns about nuclear war dominated Western society during the Cold War. Architecture, industrial design, commercial design (including advertising), interior design, and fine arts were all influenced by the themes of atomic science, as well as the Space Age, which coincided with that period. Atomic Age design became popular and instantly recognizable, with a use of atomic motifs and space age symbols. Vital forms Abstract organic forms were identified as a core motif in the 2001 exhibition of Atomic Age design at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, titled "Vital forms: American art and design in the atomic age, 1940–1960". Atomic power was a paradox during the era. It held great promise of technological solutions for the problems facing an increasingly complex world; at the same time, people were fearful of a nuclear armageddon, after the use of atomic weapons at the end of World War II.

Punsch
Punsch (or ''punssi'' in Finnish language, Finnish) refers to a specific type of alcoholic liqueur and Punch (drink), punch popular in Sweden and Finland. It is most frequently described as ''Swedish Punsch'', and while historical variations have also been called , , and , punsch should not be confused with the term "punch" as used generically. It is made by the mixing of spirits (arrack, brandy or rum) with arrak tea (lemon & spices), sugar, and water, and was first brought to Sweden from Java in 1733. The spirit arrack is the base ingredient in most punsches, also imported into Europe by the Dutch from their colony in Batavia, Dutch East Indies. Punsch usually has 25% alcohol by volume (ABV) and 30% sugar. While still made in Sweden by combining ingredients, since the later part of the 19th century it is frequently purchased as a bottled liqueur under various brand names. It is drunk both warmed and chilled. Etymology Originally, Swedish/Finnish punsch was a variant of Punch (d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
