Editor's Notes
- FernetBrancaIn 1845 in Milan, Bernardino Branca and his three sons Luigi, Giuseppe and Stefano, created FBFernet-Branca, is first and foremost an amaro, made with all natural ingredients. It still is made according to the original, secret recipe, with more than 14 herbs (among which Saffron one of the most expensive herbs in the world, rhubarb, aloe and gentian root) macerated for one year in oak barrels. By accounting for an estimated 75 percent of the world's saffron consumption, the Branca family essentially controls the market price of the spice -- which at about $900 The wonderful things rumored to be in the liqueur include codeine, mushrooms, fermented beets, coca leaf, gentian, rhubarb, wormwood, zedoary, cinchona, bay leaves, absinthe, orange peel, calumba, echinacea, quinine, ginseng, St. John's wort, sage, and peppermint oilThe first adverts in local political papers boasted of a "febrifuge, vermifuge, tonic, anti-choleric, warming pick-me-up" that could be mixed with everything from vermouth to animal broth. Scala wisely marketed it to women to ease menstrual discomfort (until 1913, only women were depicted drinking it in advertisements), but it was also lauded to aid digestion, impede nervous irritation, stimulate the appetite, treat troubles of the "splean," cure anxiety, quell stomach aches and headaches, and arrest the effects of old age.With healthy dose of marketing BS rumours spread that Fernet could cure anything from Mentrseaul cramps, cure Cholorea, quite a screaming baby, arresting the effect of old ageFerneducator: One who teaches others about Fernet-Branca.

- The drink came to the United States in the suitcases of Italian immigrants, finding a home in the Italian wards of San Francisco, New York City etcWhen Prohibition laws were passed in the U.S. in 1919, the myth of Fernet-Branca was a salvation: Imported as a medicine, it was perhaps the only package liquor legally sold in the States. A year before the 18th Amendment was repealed, the demand for Fernet-Branca was so great that the Branca family, then in its fourth generation of ownership, opened an American distillery in New York City's Tribeca. The paperwork of the distillery lists deliveries to more than 40 San Francisco drugstores, most of which were in North Beach.Reform Act of 1978, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms took a more investigative sip of the drink and tightened controls forcing bring opiates down to legal levels.Today Fernet-Branca is 80 proof, with only trace amounts of opiates. Bottles of the earlier opiate-rich brew are rare and can be identified by true Fernet-Branca scholars upon a close examination of the label
- The myth of Fernet Brand written in the San Francisco Chronical 2005Why did Fernet become a cult classic: its obscure, it is strong, it is bitter and it has authentic Roots. Fernetwas spread by bartenders and servers to the customers in the city's foodie set. Fernet-Branca found the route to San Francisco's heart through its stomach.In a city that prides itself on food, independence, and sophistication, and certainly the need for a hangover cure, Fernet-Branca offered a perfect fit for San Francisco's character.In San Francisco, consumes 50% of the product imported into the US . The preferred shot in sf is FB and a small glass of ginger all.From its deep roots in the Italian-American community, the gospel ofThe cautious marketing of Cattani and her partner Licu doesn't hurt either.
- These kegs of the bitter liqueur--are not chilled like beer.Instead, they're pumped with nitrogen right into your glass. Bartenders say it tastes the same as, if not better than, the stuff in the bottle, due to the slight aeration of the Fernet-Branca.The first place to launch the trend was Bullitt, a bar-restaurant and now Tonic, two blocks north of Bullitt (and from the same owners), also keeps Fernet on tapAround 35 percent of America's Fernet-Branca supply is consumed in San Francisco, so it's logical that if a bulk breakthrough were to happen anywhere, it would be here.Boston: it is called the Jagermeister for Hipters, enjoyed thoroughly as a Hanky Pank and as shot- Also on tap at the Citizen Public HouseNyEmployersOnly, created the Fernando, a shaken cocktail with Fernet-Branca, white vermouth and Galliano liqueur: absolutely phenomenal.
- One hour before last call, we call together all the on-duty FOH staff for a toast and shot.Ā We've served so many drinks to to others by that point, and endured enough abuse, that it's that one restorative moment as a team that propels us to the finish line.Ā The shot is usually overproof whiskey, but there's frequently a call for agave distillates (seeing as how they're Red Bull for grownups).Ā The crowd reaction usually ranges from somewhat mystified ("What was that?") to jealous ("Where's mine?!") to gleeful ("You look like you needed that one!").Ā Good times all around.Ā
- At 1 AM when we are finished serving drinks for the night John Gertsen(or whoever the manager on duty is that evening) will take a Reading Lager out for every staff member, write our name on it and distribute them to us with a toast to mark the successful completion of a Ā night of service. Ā We don't do the normal last call really so it's a way to let us know that we are done serving and also reward us. Ā If we have fellow bartenders visiting us that night from other establishments they are included in the ritual as part of our family. Ā Ā In addition we have a few drink rituals associated with specific nights. Ā Gertsen'sfavorite cocktail is the Sazerac and so we have Sazerac Sundays. Ā Right before midnight during Sunday night's service John will come out and make a round of Sazeracs for the staff. Ā It's our way of toasting the passing of the weekend which, as you know, is great but physically demanding. Ā If fellow bartenders are in the house they once again are included as well (some of the PDT kids got to participate about a month or so ago). Ā On Monday nights just past midnight we usher in Tuesday with a round of Ti Punches. Ā Ā
- Well in our house we all do "staff meal" at The Varnish right as the doors open.Ā Usually rye whiskey...all staff working gets a shot and toasts and if a customer happens to walk in right as the door opens we pour a shot for them and include them in our staff meal...Hospitality and community baby...
- Rye whiskey is pretty much the king of shift shots in Seattle, we all turn to our cheap 'ol bottle of Old Overholt to get our fix. We didn't have many specific rituals, typically at some point in the evening, someone needed a shot, so we all took one. That was the only rule, if one person had a shot, we did it as a family. "Safety meetings" also took immediate priority. Unless you were actually talking to a guest, you dropped what you were doing to sneak behind the bar and attend the meeting. There were no toasts, except possibly a toast to that day of the week, or to whiskey itself, we just take it quick and get back to work.Ā Most drinking rituals have to be kept fairly secret in Washington (and Oregon as well), because drinking behind the bar is a huge illegal no no. It doesn't really stop anyone though, we just keep it under wraps.
- There was something we started at New Year's Eve that has sort of caught on among our guest bartenders. Now usually we don't do drop shots or the like but with staff its a little bit different. Ā Because we have one of the largest selections of Amaros in Canada plus for NYE we did A Campari Red Party, it was a big night and I think it was about 3am in the morning and we were all shagged. Nate created this with the last of the Red Bull we had to keep the staff going all night. It's called the Milano Drop Shot
- Huns would enter a city, drink them dry of their wine and kill everyone. Once the wine and food was gone they left because they did not like civilian life. They perferred to drink wine but if it was not available they drank KumisKumis is a rare example of alchoho obtained from animal, as opposed to vegetable sources. It was week around 2 % abv.
- ancient Greece. In a time when poison was a murder weapon of choice, the toast was designed to put guests at ease by pouring all drinks from the same communal container, and clinking glasses to spill the contents from one glass to another. This would assure everyone that the wine wasn't poisoned, and that they were among friends.The Norse had a particularly morbid custom of using the skull of a fallen enemy for the drinking glass, which has led to a term for a modern-day toast: skoal.Christians. The clinking noise was supposed to be reminiscent of bells, and therefore would drive away the devilVikings, when, during gatherings and celebrations, they would raise a drink to the warriors and friends they had lost. The Mongols had a similar tradition.

- From what Iāve heard and read it all began with the Vikings who would heartily clink their mugs together before battle, after battle or whenever gathering and look each other in the eye. The theory positing that if any man had poisoned the drink, the tainted libation would spill into all cups and hence off them all. It is supposed that the looking in the eye would further the honorable intention that no, I did not drop poison in your cup. It appears that in some cultures (non-American) touching glasses requires eye contact. If eye contact is not established at the time of touching glasses, the two participants are said to have seven years bad luck (or in some cases, bad āintimate relationsā).

- Russian begans the tradition a long time ago, by drinking shots of vodka and drinking or eating pickelsUSA:The rumor is that it started with Truck drivers in Texas who drank pickel juice with their drinks so they would not have to pee a lot while on the road.This some how spread to a country club in Westchester and then came to NY where TJ Lynch and Toby made it famous. It Started as house shot for the staff, they would drink it before there shift and share some with the regulars but it became so poplular they had to put it on the menu. Increasingly around the country, bartenders are hearing the slightly odd question, āMay I have a Pickleback?ā The Pickleback is a two shot drink, thought to have originated in hipster bars in Brooklyn, but no one knows the exact origins of this drink. What is known is that the Pickle Back has become one of the hottest drinks in the country. Simply one shot of Bulleit Rye or whisky o f your choiceanda second shot of pickle juice, first you take the Jamesonās, folowed by the pickle juice. This drink is both surprising and tasty. Some cutting edge bars have begun to create their own signature pickle juice to pair with Jamesonās. Portland bartender Jacob Grier offers up pickled nectarine juice as his accompaniment, while NYC bartender TJ Lynch of the Breslin uses a pickle juice prepared by Quino Baca, co-owner of Momofuku.

- Toe#1 was that of Louie Liken, trapper placer miner, and in the 1920ās, rum runner. Lousi and his brother Otto would cross the border to the united states in a blizzard by a dog team to deliver their alchoholic cargo. During one such outing, Louie stepped into overflow and got his foot wet. Fearing that the Northwest Mounted Police were on their trail they had to cintue their trip. As a result of extended exposure to the cold, Louis big toe froze. To prevent the onst of gangrened it was necessary to amputate. Lacking faith in Doctors and with no desired to travel the 60 miles to get to one they decide d to take care of the situaltion on their own. So he consumed large quantities of 180% overproof rum and sufficiently drunk his brother cut his toe with an axe. To remember the night they pickeled the toe in a jar of alchohol. Years later, when cleaning the brothers cabin, the toe was discoved by Captain Dick Stevenson, After conferring with his friends they decided on rules for the sour to club and started serving it at the Elderoado Hotel in 1973. In July 1980, a placer miner named Garry Younger was trying for the Sourtoe record. On his thirteenth glass of Sourtoe champagne, his chair tipped backward and he swalled the toe. Never to be recovered.

- Established in 1973, the Sourtoe Cocktail has become a Dawson City tradition. The original rules were that the toe must be placed in a beer glass full of champagne, and that the toe must touch the drinker's lips during the consumtion of the alcohol before he or she can claim to be a true Sourtoer. The rules have changed in the past twenty-seven years. The Sourtoe can be had with any drink now (even ones that aren't alcoholic), but one rule remains the same. The drinker's lips must touch the toe. " You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow-- But the lips have gotta touch the toe."Ā The Sourtoes are actual human toes that have been dehydrated and preserved in salt. Swallowing one is not suggested.

- The drink that was used in libations varied; most commonly it was wine or olive oil, and in India, ghee. The vessels used in the ritual, including the patera, often had a significant form which differentiated them from secular vessels. The liquid was poured onto something of religious significance. The libation was very often poured on the ground itself, as an offering to the Earth.n Shinto, the practice of libation and the drink offered is called Miki \\lit. "The Liquor of the Gods". At a ceremony at a Shinto shrine, it is usually done with sake, but at a household shrine, one may substitute fresh water which can be changed every morning.

- The paloma (Spanish for "dove") is a tequila-based cocktail, most commonly prepared by mixing tequila with a grapefruit-flavored soda such as Squirt or Jarritos and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. Optionally, the glass may also be rimmed with salt.Alternatively, the grapefruit soda can be replaced with fresh white or red grapefruit juice (jugo de toronja), club soda (sugar optional), and fresh-squeezed lime juice.The paloma is the most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico.The drink was invented in the tiny town of Tequila in Jalisco, which sleepily charms with cobblestone streets and distilleries nestled between unassuming houses and shops without signs. The cocktail was created at La Capilla, the oldest bar in town, by Don Javier Delgado Corona, grandson of the barās original owner. Itās essentially a tequila highball made with fresh lime, Squirt or whatever grapefruit soda you prefer (or fresh grapefruit and soda if you wanna get all fancy), served with a salted rim. Itās simple, refreshing, and far more popular locally than a Margarita.Ā
- a non-alcoholic accompaniment that highlights tequila's crisp acidity and cleanses the palate between each peppery sip. The basic conception of sangrita is to complement the flavor of 100% agave tequila, which is also peppery and citrusy in tasteWhile most outsiders would reference its red make up as tomato juice and spices, locals and traditionalists agree that the one ingredient that most likely doesn't belong is tomato.A popular recipe in Guadalajara was said to have originated from the leftover juices (of an equally popular regional fruit salad covered with fine chili powder, usually piquin. As the fruit salad, known to Guadalajara's natives) as pico de gallo, was consumed from a large bowl during breakfast, the remaining juice was saved and poured on a small and narrow clay cup, which itself would be the precursor of the tequila shot glass. In essence, the recipe of the original sangrita is thought to be that and the same recipe of the fruit salad from which it was strained. In almost all cases the drink took its bright red color from a mix of the fine pepper powder, spices, and pomegranate, while the base was mainly orange or sweetened lime juice. The key to a balanced sangrita recipe can be found in the fruit salad's recipes, which would have included any or all of the following: tangerine, cucumber, papaya, mango and jicama.. Sangrita is used in a drink known as "The Mexican Flag", where three separate double shot glasses are filled with lime juice, tequila and sangrita.

- Sangrita (meaning ālittle bloodā), whose origin dates back to the 1920s, is a customary partner to a shot of straight tequilablanco; a non-alcoholic accompaniment that highlights tequila's crisp acidity and cleanses the palate between each peppery sip. The basic conception of sangrita is to complement the flavor of 100% agave tequila, which is also peppery and citrusy in taste. Before increased worldwide popularity and corporate interest in tequila in the late 1990s and early 21st century, few outside of the Mexican Pacific region bordering the state of Jalisco, where tequila was mainly produced and consumed, knew of the existence of sangrita, and much less its recipe. As popularity grew, so did commercial efforts to recreate the mysterious red, spicy drink that was served with tequila. In fact the drink was not that mysterious. While most outsiders would reference its red make up as tomato juice and spices, locals and traditionalists agree that the one ingredient that most likely doesn't belong is tomato.A popular recipe in Guadalajara (Jalisco's largest city) was said to have originated from the leftover juices (mainly orange) of an equally popular regional fruit salad covered with fine chili powder, usually piquin. As the fruit salad, known to tapatios (Guadalajara's natives) as pico de gallo, was consumed from a large bowl during breakfast, the remaining juice was saved and poured on a small and narrow clay cup, which itself would be the precursor of the tequila shot glass.

The tequila and sangrita are each poured into a separate shot glass (or caballito) and the two are alternately sipped, not chased. Sangrita is used in a drink known as "The Mexican Flag", where three separate double shot glasses are filled with lime juice, tequila and sangrita.

- Passing the Port The most widely known tradition is believed to come from British naval customs for serving the wine. The decanter of port is placed in front of the host who then serves the guest to his right, then passes the decanter to the guest on his left (port-side). The port is then passed to the left all the way back to the host.If the Port doesn't come backIf the decanter does not come full circle back to the host, it is impolite to ask for it directly. Iinstead the host asks the individual closest to the decanter, if he knows the bishop of Norwich or any other village in England. The question is not to provoke a reply but action the immediate passing of the port. Should the unfortunate offender answer the question by saying "No," is told that "the bishop is an awfully good fellow, but he never passes the port!" sparking, hopefully, the individual to realize he is hogging the decanter.Decanting the PortWhen decanted at the table, the bottle of Port should be finished in one sitting. Not recommended if there are only a few guests!

- People would come from near and far, and even though there were few telephonesWhen the people come into the house they kneel by the body and say a prayer. Close relatives kiss the cheek of the deceased. Then the visitors greet the family and offer some comforting words. This part of the wake is very solemn and respectful.In the past, there was always snuff and tobacco, tea, food, and spirits (of the drinking kind), offered to all who attended the wake. After the funeral, all the friends and relations drop by the house and partake of the vast quantities of food and drink that have appeared, as if by magic, into the house. Often, the family will arrive home and find that the house has been cleaned from top to bottom and every surface of the kitchen and beyond is weighed down with the best of food and drink. This is where the āIrish wakeā stereotype comes from. The people gathered remember the life of the deceased, and the taller the story the better. A stranger would think there was a real hoolie going on, and in a sense there is: itās a way to celebrate the life departed. There may be tears, but thereās plenty of laughter as well, as all the funny stories, happy times, and triumphs of the dead are shared and recorded in the memories of the living. The tradition of the Irish wake is changing. Most people arenāt waked from home. A

- 1904- The Government did something surprising, it decided to take an active role in the future of the ādrink of the godsā. It opened the National ResarchIntittue of Brewing to promote changes in the sake field. Very Novel Concept ā imagine the US governement promoting the betterment of Beer!!!Sake became the drink for almost everyone!!WW2 took a big toll on the Sake industry. Rice had to be rationed so many of the distilleries shut down . At one point there was only 3,000. Distilled grain spirits was blended with the Sake, so entire generation of Sake drinkers was brought up on this fake stuff.. After the war the young generation wanted nothing to do with what they partentsdranks.Thank fully craft brewers are coming back, and great sake is slowly seaping back into the industry.

- From Japanese usually don't start drinking until someone offers the toast "kampai"ā(dry glass). The Chinese and Koreans use the same word for their toasts. As the evening progresses, Japanese often shout "banzai!" three times. It means "live ten thousand years" and is the equivalent of saying "hip. hip, hooray!" The custom of raising a glass and saying a loud toast caught on in the later half of the Meiji Period (1868-1912) and was influenced by the British Royal navy.When drinking, one should not drink from the bottle or fill his or her own glass. The polite thing to do is fill someone else's glass and they in turn will fill yours. In some situations, it is rude to turn down a drink that is being offered to you. To avoid drinking to much keep you glass full. To avoid being rude accept a drink the first time it is offered to you by a particular individual. The second time he offers it is acceptable to politely say no. These days Japanese often order beer by the glass rather than the bottle which means they are less likely to pour drinks for each than they did in the past. Often younger people hold the bottle with one hand when pouring for older people when etiquette requires them to hold it with two hands. This trend is attributed to decline if drinking between older and young people.
