Theory on the *Cocktail* word.

*************************************************************** ************************************ While sipping a cocktail, have you ever thought about the meaning of the word? cock + tail = cocktail MIENTRAS SABOREAS UN COKTEL, ¿TE HAS PUESTO A PENSAR EN EL SIGNIFICADO DE LA PALABRA? COCK = GALLO + TAIL = COLA = LA TRADUCCION ES COLA DE GALLO. Why is that? – Well, nobody knows for sure, but there are numerous theories about the origin of the name. Here are just a few, which we like most: ¿POR QUE ES ESO? - BUENO, NADIE SABE EXACTAMENTE, PERO HAY NUMEROSAS TEORIAS ACERCA DEL ORIGEN DEL NOMBRE. Y AQUI HAY ALGUNOS, ¿CUAL TE GUSTA MAS? 1. Theory The drink used to be decorated with a plant that looked like a cock’s tail. Today, colourful stirrers and picks (e.g. umbrellas) are used instead. TEORIA 1. LA BEBIDA ERA DECORADA CON UNA HOJA DE PLANTA QUE PARECIA LA COLA DE UN GALLO. HOY EN DIA DECORAN LAS BEBIDAS CON MEZCLADORES DE COLORES Y PALLILLOS (EJEMPLO. SOMBRILLAS) SON USADAS EN LUGAR DE LAS HOJAS DE PLANTAS. 2. Theory Alcoholic leftovers that could not be drawn off through the taps of the barrels were all put into one jar and sold. Cock is said to have been the name of what today is called tap (or spigot). Alcoholic leftovers were called tailings. So according to this theory, the drink was first called cock-tailing, which later became cocktail. 3. Theory Alcoholic leftovers from bottles and barrels were put into a large cock-shaped ceramic vessel, the tap of which was at the tail of that cock. According to this theory, the drink was first called cock’s tail. 4. Theory A pharmacist in New Orleans used to offer his guests a drink (brandy, sugar, water and bitters) in an egg-cup. He called the drink egg-cup cocquetier. His guests shortened this to cocktay, which later became cocktail. 5. Theory The term derives from cock ale, a drink for which the blood of a cock was used – yuck!

Chardonnay or Bordeaux?

Should you pick the Chardonnay or the Bordeaux? Deberias de escoger un Chardonnay o un Bordeaux? Forget the bargain bins. (olvida las especiales) The wine there is often leftover inventory that may be on the verge of turning to vinegar. El vino en especial es generalmente lo que sobra de un inventario y esta al borde de convertirse en vinagre. Pass up older, pricier wines. (No compres vinos caros y viejos) These are often meant to be aged for a few more years to reach their peak flavor. Estos generalmente deben de ser añejados por unos años mas para que alcancen su punto máximo. Notice where and how the wine is positioned. (Fijate donde y como esta colocado el vino) Avoid bottles that are sitting a heating vent or in direct sunlight: This baking ruins the taste. Evita las botellas que están cerca de calefacciones, o bajo los rayos del sol. En un aparador por ejemplo. Este cocimiento con calor arruina el sabor. Never buy a wine that is standing upright on a shelf. The cork may have dried out, allowing air to enter the bottle, which alters the flavor. Nunca compres botellas de vino que esten paradas verticalmente. El corcho puede secarse permitiendo que entre aire en la botella, alterando el sabor. Choose the right Wine for your food. (Escoge el vino correcto para tu comida) Steak: a Cabernet Sauvignon or red Bordeaux. Filete: un Cabernet o un Bordeaux rojo. Pot roast: a Zinfandel or a French Cotes du Rhône. Guisado : un Zinfandel o un Cotes du Rhône Frances. Roast Chicken : a Pinot Noir or a light Chardonnay. Pollo rostizado : un Pinot Noir o un Chardonnay ligero. Hamburgers : a Petite Sirah Chinese Food : a Riesling. Broiled fish : a Sauvignon Blanc or a Chenin Blanc. Chill appropriately : (Como enfriar un vino correctamente.) Observe the 20 minute rule: Pull whites out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before serving. Put reds in 20 minutes before serving. Observe la regla de los 20 minutos. Saca del refrigerador el vino blanco 20 minutos antes de servirlo. Y con el vino tinto es al revez. Mete el vino tinto 20 minutos antes de servirlo al refrigerador. Take notes: (Toma notas) Don’t trust your memory. Jot down what the wine tastes like, and who made it. NO confies en tu memoria. Apunta como sabe un vino, y quien lo hizo.
