Joe : Where can i get Bacardi Breezers in Chennai ?
Tulleeho : Chennai does not have any Bacardi brands available in the market. If you want to drink a Breezer you will need to head to a bar with an 'imported liquor' license (generally 5 star hotels only).
However Pondicherry, a Union Territory, is not very far away and has no taxes applicable. Hence you will be able to get Breezers easily there.

Walter Anthony Jerry : Hi, i'm doing a research project on vodka - the best cocktail base. Could you please suggest how i can do justice to this topic, what information should i find out for the project, what topic should be included & given emphasis on and from where can i get such crucial details?
Tulleeho : It seems you have an interesting project at hand.
Vodka has always been a preferred base for cocktails by mixologists around the world as Vodka is a neutral spirit sans any colour, taste and aroma. This essentially qualifies it as a easily mixable base for cocktails. Think about it in this way...when you make a glass of Rasna or any other fruit concentrate why do you mix it with water?
Things that you can research on for your project:
* Origins of Vodka
* The production process with special emphasis on the distillation and the filtration process as these steps essentially make Vodka a neutral product.
* How and Why Vodka became popular? As a ladies drink? Time period and social stigma towards women drinking? How Vodka could be easily hidden and drunk as the appearence was clear and was easily mixable?
* How vodka traveled to the United States from Russia at a time when the Cocktail revolution was sweeping the country.
* Famous Classic Vodka based cocktails.
* How the trend still continues.
These are just a few pointers to help you to start of on your project. While a lot of information is available on the net, our website also gives you a good insight into the technicalities of different spirits. Incase you are looking for books to refer to, the following will be helpful:
* Complete Encyclopedia of Wines, Beers, Spirits and Liqueurs - Stuart Walton and Brian Glover
* The Vodka Companion: A Connoiseur's Guide - Desmond Begg
* Drinks - Vincent Gasnier
* 501 Must Drink Cocktails
The last two are available at our online at the Tulleeshop.
All the best and Na Zdrowie !!! (Russian for cheers)
