Sahari Domaine Wine ( Morocco)
Sahari Domaine is a very tasty classy wine from the Eastern hills of morocco. It has a very redish colour and a strong taste. It a very expensive wine the normal price in morocco is 78 euros a bottle wich contains 750ml . I liked tasting it and especially with some good morrocan beef tagine in the eastern small villages of germouma and kelaa-de-sraghna i hope you get a chance to try it someday !!
White Spirit or Mahia
White spirit or Mahia is a moroccan jewish drink made of distilled prunes mixed with an anise taste and its effect is very strong , its usually a cheap drink in morocco but in hotels around the world the minimum price for a shot is 15 euros. It has a 47% degree of alcohool and can get anyone drunk in no time. The best way to serve it is with a zest of orange juice and some grenadine and ice . Enjoy :)
Slippery Nipple
Slippery Nipple is a shot made of sambuca and baileys. Sambuca an Italian anise-flavoured, usually colourless, liqueur. Its most common variety is often referred to as white sambuca to differentiate it from other varieties that are deep blue in colour ( Black sambuca) or bright red (red sambuca) . Baileys is a irish cream made of irish whisky and liqueur cream. The shot is best served with the baileys on top otherwise it will curdle and look like someone threw up in the shot , and the sambuca must be cold. From my experience i wouldn't drink more then four shots !! Enjoy !!

There are hundreds of species of agave, many of which are radically different from one another. One of the most well-known species of agave is the century plant, often found in gardens throughout the world. Tequila is made from a species of agave called blue agave, or Agave tequilana. Best served in a shot with a bit of salt and a slice of lemon .

Absinthe-( Green Fairy )
Absinthe is an anise-flavored spirit that was originally 136 proof and made with grande wormwood. It is typically made by distilling neutral grain spirits with herbs, predominately anise, florence fennel and grande wormwood. Other herbs such as angelica root, coriander, dittany leaves, hyssop, juniper, nutmeg, melissa, star anise, sweet flag, and veronica are also used. The color of the distillate is clear and is often bottled this way in a style known as Blanche or la Bleue, but it is also often found with a bright green hue. The coloring is added, either through the chlorophyll from steeping herbs like hyssop, melissa and petite wormwood in the liquor or adding artificial coloring.
This potent liqueur was outlawed in many countries for years following many instances of harmful effects and even deaths of drinkers, most of which were due to over indulgence of the green spirit. Since the 95 year absinthe ban was lifted in the United States in 2007, many brands have been released with lower thujone levels. During the bans homemade absinthe kits became popular, however this can be dangerous. For instance too much wormwood or the use of wormwood extract can be poisonous.

Palinka
Palinka, a brandy made from distilled fruit, has enjoyed a long history, with evidence of its production dating back more than 500 years. Today, only fruits distilled in Hungary with a minimum alcohol content of 37.5 percent can be considered authentic Palinka.On Friday I was at a friends place and I got to try it. It was very special, but the taste was like perfume. I think that if you get more than 4 shots you will be very tipsy and you have got the great opportunity to smell like perfume out of your mouth. It was an experience which was unique. If you ever get near a Palinka it is worth trying it if you have bad breath.
