5 Best Cocktails To Drink When You Need To Keep A Rockin Body

The day will come when you’re right in the middle of your weight loss program and all of your friends want to go out drinking one night. You will be faced with a decision, whether to indulge and possibly be set back several weeks or to be wise about what it is you’re going to drink. The following article will give you the five best cocktails to drink while you’re trying to lose weight or in a serious workout routine. This article is not dedicated to all the reasons why you should not drink as there has already been much written on that subject. Rather it will focus on the drinks that have the lowest calorie and sugar content and therefore be your best choices.

The truth of the matter is that when you have too much to drink you know you’ve done damage by means of a hangover. What’s unfortunate is that when this happens the most typical remedy is a greasy calorie rich meal that is probably the last thing that you need. But being realistic you know that you can have a drink from time to time, after all it does have a tendency to lift your spirits and get rid of stress. But you should be made aware that not all drinks were created equal. Similar to the foods that you choose to eat or not eat, different types of alcoholic drinks can be okay for you while others can be detrimental.

Being prepared ahead of time so that when a scenario is put before you that will more than likely end up in a way that could be bad you will have already had the knowledge and wisdom to know what to avoid or what to choose. When you read on further you will learn of the five best drinks and why they are okay. They’re okay for you not because they are low cost or because they taste really good but for health-related reasons and how they affect your body. This should be primary concern for anyone who’s losing weight and getting in shape knowing the reasons why their good and how they affect your health will make a difference.

The first of our good cocktails mentioned in this article is that of red wine. Red wine is mentioned first not because it is a superior choice over the others but because it is perhaps one of the most consumed alcoholic beverages in the world and also because it is almost always available no matter if it’s a restaurant or club or someone’s home. There’s been a lot of research and studies done about the benefits of red wine. Red wine has medicinal benefits from fairly good levels of antioxidants to even being prescribed at times for certain minor ailments. What’s interesting is that even in the Bible mentions how a little bit of red wine has health benefits.

The fact that red wine is mentioned in this article does not mean that white wine is not a good cocktail. The truth of the matter is that recent research done shows that both types of wine offer health benefits. What’s really interesting is that just in the past few years some studies actually show white wine having a few more health benefits than red wine. What all this does is show and prove the point that wine in general is a great cocktail especially for those in the middle of a weight loss program or fitness routine.

Moving overseas across the Atlantic you land on a little island that seems to be best known for the color green, leprechauns, warm pubs and thick rich full-bodied beers the island of Ireland. When it comes to beer Ireland seems to be best known for Guinness Stout which is just as much a meal as it is a beer. Why Guinness is unique in the healthy cocktail category versus other beers is that just one of these drinks has the ability to satisfy and fill you up as much as a case of light beer. In addition to it’s filling ability it actually is a beer that’s fairly low in calories and has a high content of iron making it one of the best mass-produced beers you can drink.

If you’ve just had a horrible day and a little red wine or Guinness won’t cut it, drinking some top shelf liquor on the rocks or with a little bit of water is also a good way to go. Top shelf liquor is recommended because it cost more and therefore is better but top shelf liquor usually comes without the impurities that lesser quality alcohol has. Due to the fact it has less impurities it typically taste better and therefore lends itself to being consumed without the addition of any colas or juices or anything like that that contains sugars and more calories. Top shelf liquor is designed to be consumed by itself with no help from any other additive.

If you find though that you do love hard liquor over beer but still feel the need to sprinkle something in with it. The best choice hands down is a vodka soda. Now this should not be confused with vodka tonic as tonic water a can be high in calories and sugars. Soda water on the other hand is basically just water with a few bubbles and when you add in a little bit of vodka and a dash of lime you end up with a refreshing cocktail that won’t set your progress back a couple of weeks.

The fifth best cocktail for your body is really for all those beer lovers out there that don’t just love beer but love good beer in different flavors. If you find yourself scoffing at a Guinness your still in luck as micro brewed beers can be a great alternative. If you’re wondering why on earth microbrewed beer is better than the typical beer found in your local grocery store the answer is actually quite simple.

Mass-produced beers are usually made with poor ingredients in addition to food coloring, unnatural flavorings and a lot of other junk that you would typically find in a convenience store snack foods section. Microbrews on the other hand tend to stick to European codes for their production and are made from natural ingredients lending itself to being a safe alternative for weight watchers out there.

Choosing any of these five cocktail options as your drink when you’re out with your friends can help make the difference between you sticking with your healthy routines or falling off the wagon. There is no need to feel nervous about the repercussions any longer when you need to have a drink as long as you stick with these recommendations. When the time comes to relieve a little stress and anxiety by having a cold one, do so knowing that it’s okay because you made a wise decision about your drink of choice.

What is a Fine Malt Whisky?

I am not pretending to be an authority with 40 years knowledge of the whisky business but I do remember in my younger days enjoying from time to time a malt whisky.  I also new by choice I’d ask for a malt, though never quite sure why.

I’ll try and provide a simplistic view of what and why a malt whisky is a fine whisky and with Scotland having in the order of 140 distilleries producing one or more whiskies then I must confess I tend to think of a malt as fine Scotch whisky.

Generally speaking people mean a single malt whisky when they refer to a malt whisky and this is because the malt whiskies are distilled in distilleries which usually only produce one whisky.  It is possible to have more than one brand of whisky from a distillery and this can be attributable to a number of factors.  For example a distillery may have a single malt whisky which is a mere 10 years old and then another brand name which is matured for a full 20 years.  Similarly the unique flavour of a fine whisky is as much about how the whisky is matured and stored and specifically the history of the casks that are used.  The Benriach distillery, for example, produces several brands and they are a mix of age and the casks that have been used.  Benriach specifically refer to whisky being matured in originally American oak casks and then finished either in casks having been used for storing sherry, port or dark rum.  In all these cases the actual distillation process may have been the same but how the fine whisky is stored and for how long are the key factors to the product which is eventually consumed and enjoyed.

The ingredients of a fine malt whisky.

Almost all malt whiskies and made by malting barley gain (though rye grain can be used).  The barley, yeast and water are the only ingredients used in the production of single malt whisky.

In the first instance the barley used is malted, which means, it is soaked in water for a few days. This malting or soaking process is the start of the germination process which leads to the natural starch being converted to a fermentable sugar.  This process is then stopped and the malted barley is dried.  Eventually the dried and germinated malted barley can now be ground or milled to produce something which the industry calls a grist.  From here the grist is combined with hot water to remove the sugary liquid which is called a wort.  This wort will now have the yeast added.  This where the first alcohol is produced and anyone familiar with brewing beer will recognise this process as both are very similar until this stage.

The next stage is where beer making (brewing) and whisky making (distilling) differ because the wort liquid is then distilled which means it is heated to boiling point such that the alcohol boils away but is captured on the cooler condensing surfaces and the alcohol is collected.  This distillation initial process produces a relatively low alcohol strength liquid so the process is repeated (and sometimes a third time) until such time as a liquid is produced which is typically two thirds alcohol by volume.

These are the initial processes of making a scotch single malt whisky.  Note it is not a scotch whisky for another year or two yet!
