COCKTAIL RECIPE
Bishop
Bishop - An old European cocktail made with red wine, rum and citrus. With its spicy and warm flavors, it is one of the classic drinks preferred especially in winter.
The Bishop's cocktail is a very old drink with origins dating back to the 19th century. Popular in Europe, especially in England and France, it was originally a derivative of wine-based hot drinks. Early recipes include versions where wine, citrus and spices are heated together.
The name of the drink, "Bishop", means "bishop" in English. Although the exact reason for this name is unknown, some historians say that this cocktail was one of the wine mixtures served in British universities and academic circles. According to legend, the drink was so named because its color and strong aroma resembled the dark tones used in religious attire.
Bishop is actually one of the drinks that were prepared before the modern concept of cocktails came into being. Back then, many drinks were wine-based and enriched with citrus fruits, sugar and sometimes spices. These recipes contributed to the development of cocktail culture over time.
