Just like in the case of Margarita, there are several options for the drink. To create them, just use a different rum.
By the way, Cuba Libre has a cocktail "descendant", and its original name is Cuba Libre del pobre. Over time, it became known as "Kalimoho". The composition of this drink includes only two ingredients - Coca-Cola and dry red wine, which already has the necessary sourness, which is given to rum with lime juice.

Baileys
Another liquor on the list of the most delicious alcohol. What is it, what is it?
So, this is an Irish cream liqueur with a strength of 17%. Quite a "young" drink, it has been made since 1974. The basis is triple-distilled Irish whiskey and cream.
It is interesting that in addition to the classic Baileys, there are other types of it. The range of flavors includes Mint Chocolate, Cream Caramel, Coffee Cream and Hazelnut liqueur. All variations have admirers, but the classic Baileys is incomparable. It tastes like melted creamy ice cream with caramel and vanilla.
This drink will appeal to people who don't like liqueurs because of the sweetness. Baileys is not cloying. So you don't even need to dilute it with ice - you can enjoy a pure, delicate taste.
Becherovka
Interested in tasty and strong alcohol? Then you need to pay attention to Becherovka, a Czech herbal liqueur made in Karlovy Vary. Its strength is 38%.
Even the production of this drink is of interest. The mixture, which includes at least 20 herbs, is poured into canvas bags and immersed in containers of alcohol, after which they are left for a week.
After the time has elapsed, the resulting extract is poured into barrels made of oak, in whichmix it with sugar and Karlovy Vary water. There, the future drink is infused for about 2-3 months.
All this determines the unique taste of Becherovka. It is sweet, fragrant, spicy, soft. Pairs perfectly with currant and apple juice.
Vermouth
The list of delicious alcohol includes this drink, which is a flavored fine wine. Its strength is from 16 to 22%.
As a rule, neutral and white wines are used in production. The addition of red is very rarely practiced. Most often, vermouth with a scarlet tint is a drink to which caramel has been added.
The refined aroma of wine is due to the use of various roots, seeds, flowers and herbs in its preparation. Most often, alpine wormwood is added. Its content in most vermouths is 50% of the total amount of flavors used.
The taste of this drink is very sweet, with a slight bitterness. Some love it, others categorically do not perceive it. But the whole secret is in the culture of drinking. Vermouth should be diluted with water, ice, and even better - apple juice.
Cognac
Surely many will be skeptical that this drink is mentioned at all within the framework of the topic under discussion. Indeed, cognac would be difficult to call the most delicious alcohol, if not for one "but". It's all about endurance! Its taste, aroma and softness depend on it. The more it is, the better the drink. True, this is also reflected in the price.
If we talk about domestic brands, then the explicitadvantage is observed in Armenian cognac. Often the exposure of this drink reaches 25 years. But it's not just that. Armenian grapes are a solar product, not earthy. After all, the vines growing in this country are basking under the rays for 300 days a year. Grapes are sweet and aromatic. And cognac eventually has the same qualities.
The taste is also affected by double filtration and cold treatment, thanks to which it is possible to get rid of oak suspension. As a result, the Armenian cognac is rich, but soft. For this, he is loved by tens of thousands of connoisseurs of strong alcohol.
Beer
This drink has a lot of fans, so it's impossible not to mention it. Based on polls and sales rankings, here is what the top three looks like:
- "Athanasius Porter", 8%. Soft burnt aroma, dense rich taste with pleasant bitterness. No hops.
- Shaggy Bumblebee Ale, 5%. Initially, the drink was an experimental project, but consumers liked its peculiar taste, incomparable with other beer, so much that it was decided to start mass production. It is drunk softly, fruity-caramel sweetness is felt, imperceptibly replaced by m alt bitterness.
- "Russian imperial status" from Stamm Beer, 9%. Its original taste is due to the use of 7 types of m alt and American Summit hops. The taste is enveloping, harmonious and powerful. There are notes of burnt bread, coffee, prunes, raisins, the sweetness of fortified wine, burnt wood and m alt, bitter chocolate, darkfruits. All this is combined so unexpectedly well that you want to try again and again.
Also, the list of the best beer can include B altika 3, Yuzberg Weissbier, Ochakovo, Three Bears and Velkopopovicky Kozel.
