NON-ALCOHOLIC COCKTAILS
The drink was named after the iconic child actress Shirley Temple. According to legend, while she was having dinner at a fancy restaurant with her parents and other Hollywood celebrities who were enjoying cocktails, the bartender made her a non-alcoholic cocktail so she could look just as sophisticated.
The legend takes place back in the 1970s in the American city of San Francisco. It’s the story of a bartender who fell asleep on the job. The bar owner woke him up in a huff. To avoid a scolding, the bartender told him he was waiting for dawn so he could capture the colors of the sunrise in a cocktail that would go on to become famous around the world.
WINE-BASED COCKTAILS
There are many stories and legends about the origins of sangria, but one of the most reliable historical accounts dates it back to the year 1800, when it was created by farmers in Spain and Portugal, who used to make it with the local produce available to them at the time: wine, apples, peaches, and citrus fruits.
WHISKEY COCKTAILS
According to legend, the first Old Fashioned was created at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in the 1880s. Colonel James E. Pepperun, a regular at the club and a bourbon connoisseur, often ordered his favorite cocktail: a mixture of bourbon, sugar, water, and bitters, prepared the “old-fashioned” way.
According to the official story, this cocktail was created at the Manhattan Club in 1874, where Jenny Jerome—who would later become Winston Churchill’s mother—asked the bartender to make a special cocktail for a celebration honoring her father’s friend Samuel J. Tilden, who had just been elected governor of the state.
COCKTAILS WITH SPARKLING WINE
It is believed to have originated from the “Venetian Spritz,” a cocktail created in the 1920s and inspired by a trend that emerged in the 19th century among soldiers of the Austrian Empire, who diluted the alcohol content of Venetian wines with a splash of seltzer or carbonated water.
Supporters of the English version say it was created at Buck’s Club in London. The gentlemen who frequented this club liked to mix their Prosecco with orange juice. According to the Paris version, the inventor was Frank Meier, a bartender at the Ritz Hotel. On this occasion, Meier mixed Champagne with orange juice and then added a splash of Triple Sec. This last ingredient was added to enhance the orange flavor.
The Bellini cocktail is said to have originated at Harry’s Bar in Venice. It was there that Giuseppe Cipriani created the drink in 1945. Cipriani named the cocktail the Bellini after the Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. The bartender drew inspiration from the cocktail’s pink hue, comparing it to the painter’s preference for using rich pink tones in his paintings.
CÓCTELES CON VERMUT
El Negroni tuvo su origen en el Café Casoni de Florencia en el año 1919. El alegre y viajado Conde Camillo Negroni frecuentaba este café, donde disfrutaba con los amigos del cóctel de moda en la época, el Americano. Este combinado a base de vermut, Campari y un poco de soda le resultaba poco alcohólico al conde.
El creador del cóctel Bronx fue Johnnie Solón Barman del Hotel Waldorf Astoria de Nueva York antes de la prohibición (Ley seca), en su tiempo uno de los mejores maestros del arte de la coctelería. Se le llama cóctel Bronx en honor al lugar preferido para pasear en sus días libres: el zoológico de la ciudad que se encontraba en el barrio del Bronx.
GIN COCKTAILS
The Negroni originated at Café Casoni in Florence in 1919. The cheerful and well-traveled Count Camillo Negroni was a regular at this café, where he enjoyed the cocktail of the moment—the Americano—with his friends. This drink, made with gin, Campari, and a splash of soda water, seemed too weak for the count.
VODKA COCKTAILS
It was created by Fernand Petiot, who concocted it in a Parisian bar in 1921. Petiot decided to mix equal parts vodka and tomato juice, and the customers watching him prepare the cocktail laughed as they came up with increasingly gory names because of its color. Eventually, they settled on the name Bloody Mary.
CÓCTELES CON RON
El Daiquiri tiene sus orígenes en Santiago de Cuba, en las inmediaciones existía una mina de hierro donde trabajaba un ingeniero estadounidense llamado Jennings Cox, conocido por ser el padre del cóctel Daiquiri, ya que una vez que se acababa la ginebra, el ron era la bebida que se encontraba con facilidad en la zona. Fue un ingeniero italiano, Giacomo Pagliuchi, colega de Cox, quien lo bautizó con el nombre de “daiquiri”, en honor a las minas donde trabajaba su amigo.
TEQUILA COCKTAILS
In Puebla, it is said that Danny Negrete, the manager of the Hotel Crespo, created the drink for his girlfriend. Since she loved salt, he decided to rim a glass and combine the magical ingredients: lime juice, tequila, and triple sec. And so, according to legend, the first margarita was born.
CÓCTELES DE TEMPORADA
La trufa negra (nombre científico Tuber melanosporum) es muy apreciada en la gastronomía por su aroma y es de gran valor económico. Se trata de un hongo que se encuentra bajo el suelo y que posee un aspecto exterior oscuro tirando a negro, de superficie verrugosa. Hoy en día este hongo puede cultivarse en las denominadas truferas.
Su hábitat natural son los bosques del sur de Francia, Italia y España. De hecho, esta última es considerada como la principal productora a nivel mundial, con provincias tan destacadas como la de Teruel. Vive bajo tierra, en simbiosis con las raíces de encinas, robles y avellanos principalmente, aunque también vive asociada a las raíces de algunos pinos (halepensis y silvestris) y estepas o jaras (Cistus albidus), generalmente en tierras calizas.
Se recolecta en el invierno, utilizándose perros especialmente adiestrados en su olfato (un ejemplo de raza empleada en su recolección Parson Russell Terrier) y el denominado machete trufero. Las mejores fechas son enero, aunque el periodo de recolección comienza en diciembre llegando hasta marzo.
