Spirits
Spirits are alcoholic beverages that are made by distilling fermented fruits, vegetables, grains, or other substances. The term can also refer to liquors, such as brandy, whisky, and vodka. Spirits are often consumed neat (straight up) or mixed with other ingredients to create cocktails.
Spirits have a long history dating back thousands of years. They were originally used for medical purposes and as a means of preserving food. Spirits began to be produced commercially in the early 1800s and became increasingly popular throughout the world. Today, they are enjoyed by people of all ages and social backgrounds.
