Jack daniel's - A whiskey of the bourbon type, made in Tennessee, which is perhaps the most famous whiskey made in America. The Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, dates from 1866 and is the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Jack Daniel's is made according to the sour-mash process, mellowed by a process of filtration through sugar maple charcoal.
Jaegermeister - This complex, aromatic concoction containing some 56 herbs, roots and fruits has been popular in
Germany since its introduction in 1878. It may be used as cocktail bitters but is more frequently consumed as an
aperitif or after dinner drink.
Jamaican rum - Full-bodied, pungent rum, dark in color, and decidedly heavier and richer in taste than light bodied rums produced elsewhere in the Caribbean. High-quality Jamaican rums, such as Myer's, are usually drunk straight.
Jigger - Also called a shot, a jigger is a small drinking glass-shaped container used to measure liquor.
Juice - Extracted liquid that comes from fruits or vegetables. Only 100% juice or pure juice is directly squeezed from a fruit or vegetable. It can be made from juice concentrate reconstituted with water, and certain other ingredients (for example, vitamins) as prescribed by law.
Juleps - Made with Kentucky bourbon and fresh mint leaves (muddled, crushed or whole). May also be made with rye, brandy, gin, rum or champagne. Served with shaved ice in an ice-frosted
glass with a mint or fruit garnish and a straw.
