*'''[[wine]] (''vino'')''' has traditionally been the most popular alcoholic beverage in Pelaxia, beer in recent decades has competed with wine in popularity. Breweries appeared in Pelaxia at the end of the 1760s. | |||
*'''Beer''' consumption has increased outpacing that of wine since 1991, the growing production and consumption of beer has supported the existence of related events, for example beer festivals called '''Fiestas de la Cerveza''". However, the presence of a vigorous population of [[Celt]]ic lineage, principally of Kiravian origin, has supported the creation of other celebrations of beer, often for marketing purposes, such as [[Saint Patrick's Day]] (''Día de San Patricio''). Pelaxians enjoy a variety of alcoholic beverages and Pelaxians can boast a varied array of ''elaboraciones'', whether industrial or [[artisanal]]. | |||
*Besides beer and wine, Pelaxians frequently drink [[Limoncello]]. '''Limoncello''' is the most popular beverage of the middle and lower economic classes at Christmas and [[New Year]] (the upper classes proverbially preferring to celebrate with locally produced [[champagne]], although real old-line "[[Creole peoples|creole]]" aristocrats will still drink Limoncello, which is much more traditional). | |||
*'''Sangria''' traditionally consists of red wine and chopped fruit, often with other ingredients or spirits. | |||
*'''Fernet''' is an Acirian type of amaro, a bitter, aromatic spirit. Fernet is made from a number of herbs and spices which vary according to the brand, but usually include myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom, aloe, and especially saffron, with a base of distilled grape spirits. Fernet is usually served as a digestif after a meal but may also be served with coffee and espresso or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. It typically contains 45% alcohol by volume. It may be served at room temperature or with ice. Younger generations of Pelaxians often mix it with Imperial Cola. | |||
Other widely consumed spirits are rum made from [[sugar cane]], gin, sangría and fernet. | Other widely consumed spirits are rum made from [[sugar cane]], gin, sangría and fernet. | ||
