Three Spirit

What do you think are the differences between drinking (or even not drinking) culture in the US compared to the UK?

Why Drink Organic?

Drink Me

Alcohol is not where you go when trying to be healthy. This is true. However, that doesn’t mean we should tar all spirits with the same brush. Without doubt some spirits are murkier, poorly-made, and full of leftover chemicals that lead to that ferocious hangover you can never understand getting because, afterall, you only had two Margaritas. But others are pure from the source to the glass, and these ones are your friends.

Birth of the Cocktail: the Sazerac

Old Liquors Magazine

As with all cocktail history, it seems, tracing or verifying the exact origin story of a spirit or concoction is a little difficult—a little fuzzy, one could say. By no means, an exception to this rule is the Sazerac, the ultimate bitter cocktail classic, which was branded as the United States’ first official cocktail around the 1850s. It was also not until this time that the use of ‘cocktail’ itself had come about.

L-theanine: The secret nootropic in your green tea

Three Spirit

L-Theanine (r-glutamylethylamide) is a non-dietary amino acid found in tea. And especially high levels in green tea (camellia sinensis). L-Theanine was first isolated from green tea in Japan by Sakato in 1949. As an analogue of glutamate and glutamine, it’s hydrolyzed in your intestine and liver into l-glutamate and ethylamine. And easily crosses your blood-brain barrier.

A style first made popular by brewers from California and the Pacific Northwest, American amber ale is a descendant of English pale ale or strong bitter.
