Alcohol Predictions for 2022: Seltzers, Bold Flavors, and More
With the current pandemic changing the way we shop, drink, socialize, and everything in between, it’s no surprise to see alcohol trends competing to keep up. Some trends throughout the pandemic have come and gone as we've been evolving through phases these last two years. For some, at-home bartending has slowed as bars and restaurants have reopened. For others, they are keeping those home bartending classes to good use. And let's not forget about the expansion of third-party deliveries as more individuals opt to stay home (especially with the newest Omicron variant). Just as we saw in 2020, 2021 was a year of innovation and new ideas just continue to climb into 2022.

Are Wine Fridges Expensive? Do They Consume A Lot Of Electricity?

What Is The Difference Between Cordials And Liqueurs?
What is the difference between cordials and liqueurs? It's a question that many people have asked themselves at one point or another. The answer to this question is not always easy to explain, but it can be done. Cordials are often served after dinner as an after-dinner drink, while liqueurs are more typically found in mixed drinks. Liqueur, coming from the French word "liqueur," which means "to dissolve," refers to any liquor that contains fruit flavourings or other flavourings added through infusion or maceration, especially in fruit liqueurs such as strawberry liqueurs and raspberry liqueurs. Most of these infusions come from fruits like peaches, pears, oranges, and strawberries. However, many different types of fruit flavours exist.
