[Answer] Which spirit can replace tequila in cocktails to add a smoky flavor?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which spirit can replace tequila in cocktails to add a smoky flavor?"

...Tequila is a type of mezcal, but not all mezcals are tequila. To be tequila, the spirit must be made from blue agave and produced in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Mezcal can be made from any of 30 different types of agave and produced anywhere in Mexico. Another difference: Tequila piñas (the heart of the agave plant resembling a pineapple) are cooked in large brick or stainless steel ovens, while mezcal piñas are usually cooked in a pit lined with volcanic rock. This gives mezcal a smoky, earthy quality that ranges from sweet and bright to spicy and savory.

[Answer] Where did the “Screwdriver” (orange juice and vodka) get its name?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Where did the “Screwdriver” (orange juice and vodka) get its name?"

...Due to the simplicity of this recipe (pouring some vodka into orange juice) the drink itself has been around far longer than its moniker. Apparently, it was the drink of choice for mid-20th century oil workers in the Persian Gulf, but lacking bar tools on the oil rig, they used screwdrivers to give their drinks a quick stir. Thankfully, there are better ways to mix cocktails today.

[Answer] What type of juice flavors a traditional Cosmopolitan?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What type of juice flavors a traditional Cosmopolitan?"

...The Cosmopolitan probably hit its peak in the 1990s, but it's still a favorite on bar menus today. Similar recipes had been around earlier, but in 1986, Ocean Spray, a commercial cranberry grower, published a cocktail recipe called the "Harpoon." It contained an ounce of vodka, an ounce of cranberry, and a squeeze of lime — the only thing missing from the Cosmopolitan recipe is the sweet Cointreau. The evolution to the Cosmo is unclear, but The Odeon, a trendy downtown Manhattan bar/restaurant, is credited for putting the drink on the map in the 1980s.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Why is a “Bloody Mary” served with a celery stick garnish?"

...This brunch cocktail tradition began sometime around the 1960s at Chicago’s Ambassador East Hotel.

The Bloody Mary drink was created decades before, in the 1920s, with unverified accounts of the name origin. Popular namesake theories include Queen Mary I of England, a waitress, or an actress.

[Answer] What type of drinking vessel is used for a “Moscow Mule?”

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What type of drinking vessel is used for a “Moscow Mule?”"

...Russian immigrant Sophie Berezinski was trying to sell her copper mugs when fate led her to Jack Morgan’s bar, “Cock’n Bull Restaurant” in Hollywood. Americans weren’t interested in vodka in the mid-1900s, something that Morgan’s business partner, John Martin, was trying to change by buying the Smirnoff Vodka distillery. It’s reported that Berezinski helped Morgan and Martin create the perfect fizzy cocktail on that day in 1941. Using ginger beer, vodka, and copper mugs to keep it chilled, the Moscow Mule was born. The word “mule” at the end of the drink seems to have been a random choice, implying the taste “packed a punch.”
