The world of cocktails, like any other specialized field, can be confusing with a host of terminology that has to be understood before you can make your way through the pages of recipe books that are out there waiting to be mastered. Here is some of the terminology explained to guide you through your cocktail making experience so you can talk like a pro.

Some spirit names easily maneuver the sexy playing field with names like X-Rated Fusion or Nude Vodka. There is a reason behind the name formula. Fun, flirty, playful, sexy sells in an adult market. Any given time of year Girl’s Night Out and bachelorette parties pull out all the stops when it comes to sexual innuendo, having a good time and flirting up a storm. Weekends are designed for freeing oneself of the work week and riding the moment – responsibly of course.

It's a wonderful thing, first of all. Drinking with someone you don't like is like drinking with someone you do like, only there's the added pleasure of hope. You might end up getting along better.

There's the Come-to-Jesus drink. (I don't like you and here's why.) There's the Ignore-the-Obvious drink. (Great to see you!) There's the Machiavellian Snuggle.

Whether you are a world traveler or simply an adventurous eater, these incredible dishes from around the world will definitely tingle your taste buds.

Weird Food #1: Haggis (Scotland)
Take a mess of sheep heart, liver, and other organs, mix it with oats and onion, and stuff it into a sheep intestine, and you have the delicious Scottish dish of haggis. After cooking it properly, you will end up with a brownish mush with a very iron-filled taste. Eating it for the first time, I dipped spoonfuls into sweet milk, which added a sweet taste to the liver. Haggis is definitely not pretty to look at, but it is quite delicious.
