9 Most Unusual Cocktails Around The World
Drinking is a lot of fun, especially when you're out with friends. We have people who stick to their Old Monk and coke, we have the crazies who love their tequila shots, we also have the people who'd rather have a nice conversation over a mug of beer. But you know what's more fun? Cocktails. And if you're in the mood for some experimentation, we have just the thing for you! Here are 9 of the unusual cocktails from around the world:
1. Peru: Pisco Sour

It contains a Peruvian liquor that's made from grapes that's refreshingly brandy-like. No points for guessing its name: its Pisco of course! This drink also contains egg whites. Don't make a face. Its yummy!
2. Canada: The Caesar
PC: This drink contains vodka, Clamato (that's a blend of clam broth and tomato juice), hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce, served on the rocks. Interestingly, its garnished with a celery stick and some lime. Its a more fun take on the Bloody Mary. Drink away!
