'Spirits' (AKA 'hard liquor') is the term for all distilled alcohol - in fact, the name 'spirit' came from alchemists who believed the vapor of distillation was a 'spirit' of the original material. Technically 'spirits' and 'liqueurs' are different - spirits have no added sugar, while liqueurs do - but they tend to be lumped together. Virtually all known spirits were used as health tonics or elixirs at some point in history, but transmuted into good fun drinks over time. Many countries have their 'national' drink - gin, whisky, schnapps, grappa, ouzo, soju, vodka, rakia/rakija...there's quite a list. Experiments began with sugars and flavours - resulting in limoncello, cynar, Benedictine...that's an even longer list.

Cracking their skulls with his trusty hand axe, he blends their succulent sweetness with the dry, earthy tones and crisp citrus edge of Cazcabel Blanco to make Cazcabel Coconut. Just one sip, and he can feel tropical water slapping at his feet.

Shanky was always one to buck the trend, he liked the idea of Irish Whiskey, but did not like the burn, he like the taste of cream, but he did not like the texture... and he loved stout, which is of cause black! So he had a lightbulb moment... and Shanky's Whip was born. A blend of BLACK IRISH WHISKEY, Irish spirits and the delicious natural flavour of cream and vanilla. Combined, these make for a delicious drink on its own or mixed in a cocktail or with cola.
