Bourbon Whiskey
Bourbon whiskey (; also simply bourbon) is a Aging (food), barrel-aged American whiskey made primarily from corn (maize). The name derives from the Kingdom of France, French House of Bourbon, although the precise source of inspiration is uncertain; contenders include Bourbon County, Kentucky, and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, both of which are named after the House of Bourbon.Kiniry, Laura.Where Bourbon Really Got Its Name and More Tips on America's Native Spirit". ''Smithsonian (magazine), Smithsonian''. June 13, 2013. The name ''bourbon'' might not have been used until the 1850s, and the association with Bourbon County was not evident until the 1870s. Although bourbon may be made anywhere in the U.S., it is associated with the Southern United States, particularly Kentucky. One reason for this association is the romanticized advertising in the 1990s of bourbon as a product of Kentucky with rural, Southern origins.

Boulevardier (cocktail)
The boulevardier cocktail is an alcoholic drink composed of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari. It originated as an obscure cocktail in late 1920s Paris, and was largely forgotten for 80 years, before being rediscovered in the late 2000s as part of the craft cocktail movement, rapidly rising in popularity in the 2010s as a variant of the negroni, and becoming an IBA official cocktail in 2020.

Triple Sec
Triple sec is an orange-flavoured liqueur that originated in France. It usually contains 20–40% alcohol by volume. Triple sec is rarely consumed neat, but is used in preparing many mixed drinks such as margaritas, cosmopolitans, sidecars, Long Island iced teas, and mai tais. Etymology The origin of the name "triple sec" is disputed. The term is French and composed of ''triple'', with the same meaning as in English, and ''sec'', the French word for "dry". Some sources claim it comes from a triple distillation process used to create the liqueur, but others say that a triple distillation is not used. Cointreau, a brand of triple sec, is reported to have invented the term based on the three types of orange peels used in the liqueur, although other reports have Cointreau claim the triple to mean "three times the flavour of Curaçaos". History Triple sec has been popular for more than 150 years. The Dutch East India Company created orange liqueurs by steeping dried orange pe ...
