| Decode a
woman
by what she drinks

Martini
“She’s likely to be high-maintenance, but a
serious drinker. Martini women are typically
stressed out, depressed, and looking to shift their
mood.”
The martini
is a cocktail made with gin and dry white vermouth
or sweet red vermouth, although substituting vodka
for gin is now common. Variations are many, a
standard modern martini is a five to one ratio, made
by combining approximately two and a half ounces of
gin and one half ounce of sweet or dry vermouth with
ice.

Lemon Drops
“This person would be really fun to go out
with. She’s fashionable, trendy, and fun-loving. She
may have street smarts, but she isn’t a Rhodes
Scholar.”
1 1/2 oz.
Vodka, splash of sour mix, dash of lemon juice. Mix
with ice, strain into chilled shot glass, serve with
lemon wedge.

Scotch
“This drink says intelligence. A
Scotch-drinking woman is grounded, knows who she is,
and doesn’t care what anybody thinks.”
Scotch
whisky is whisky made in Scotland. In Britain, the
term whisky is usually taken to mean Scotch unless
otherwise specified.

Champagne
“This girl is elitist, pretentious, wants
people to think she’s an intellectual, and wishes
she were French. She has a little bit of fantasy
going on.”
Champagne is
a sparkling wine produced by inducing the in-bottle
secondary fermentation of wine to effect
carbonation. It is produced exclusively within the
Champagne region of France, from which it takes its
name.

Beer
“Downing brews means she’s trying to be one
of the guys. She can be spontaneous and fun, but she
doesn’t feel comfortable with her femininity.”
Beer is the
world's older and more popular alcoholic beer. Some
of the earliest known writings refer to the
production and distribution of beer. It is produced
by the fermentation of sugars derived from
starch-based material—the most common being malted
barley; however, wheat, corn, and rice are also
widely used, usually in conjunction with barley.

Red Wine
“Wine lovers are health conscious and
conservative, but also sensual, warm, and
nurturing. She likes the warmth wine gives when it
hits her throat.”
Wine is an
alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of
grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes
is such that they can ferment without the addition
of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Wine
is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using
various types of yeast which consume the sugars
found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol.

Rum and Coke
“This girl likes to have fun and is really
laid-back. If that glass of rum and Coke could
speak, it would say, ‘I’m going nuts tonight!’”
Rum and Coke
is a highball made of Cola, lime, and rum. The lime
juice is optional. Also known as The Cuba Libre.

Cosmo
“She’s another high-maintenance chick. She
typically doesn’t go with the flow and tries a bit
too hard to look sophisticated to the people around
her.”
A
cosmopolitan is a cocktail made with vodka,
Cointreau or Triple Sec, cranberry juice, and
fresh-squeezed lime juice or sweetened lime juice.
Informally, it is referred to as a Cosmo.
