6. In Mexico, the most traditional way to
drink tequila is neat, without lime and
salt. It is popular in some regions to drink
fine tequila with a side of sangrita—a
sweet, sour, and spicy drink typically
made from orange juice, grenadine (or
tomato juice), and hot chili. Equal-sized
shots of tequila and sangrita are sipped
alternately, without salt or lime. Another
popular drink in Mexico is
the bandera (flag, in Spanish), named
after the Flag of Mexico, it consists of
three shot glasses, filled with lime juice
(for the green), white tequila, and
sangrita (for the red).
How tequila is served

7. Outside Mexico, a single shot of
tequila is often served with salt
and a slice of lime. This is
called tequila cruda and is
sometimes referred to as
"training wheels", "lick-sip-suck",
or "lick-shoot-suck”. The drinkers
moisten the back of their hands
below the index finger (usually by
licking) and pour on the salt.
Then the salt is licked off the
hand, the tequila is drunk, and
the fruit slice is quickly bitten.

20. INTRODUCTION
Tonic water (or Indian tonic water) is a carbonated soft
drink in which quinine is dissolved. Originally used as
a prophylactic against malaria, tonic water usually now has
a significantly lower quinine content and is consumed for its
distinctive bitter flavor. It is often used in mixed drinks,
particularly in gin and tonic.
 it was originally intended for consumption in tropical
areas of South Asia and Africa, where the disease
is endemic. Quinine powder was so bitter that British
officials stationed in early 19th Century India and other
tropical posts began mixing the powder with soda and
sugar, and a basic tonic water was created.
Tonic water will fluoresce under ultraviolet light, owing to
the presence of quinine
