Pes 2016 World Classics Real Names

[Robinette Ith]

Whilechoice of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages is down to personal preference, there are some classic cocktails that have stood the test of time and remain amongst the most popular cocktails ordered in bars around the world today.

As the most ordered cocktail in the world, the classic Margarita has been one of the most popular cocktails in America for years and still remains on top. While there are many variations, the traditional recipe consists of tequila, Triple Sec and lime juice. It's also often served with a salt rim for the perfect balance of sweet, sour and salty.

For a refreshing take on the Margarita, that's ideal for the summer months and allows the tequila to really shine, try Tommy's Margarita. Who is Tommy you ask? Well, it's actually the name of a self-proclaimed premier tequila bar in San Francisco. Tommy's Margarita adds a Mexican twist by replacing the Triple Sec with agave syrup for an extra sweet kick.

Made popular in the 90s thanks to the hit TV show Sex and the City, the deliciously sweet Cosmopolitan definitely deserves its place on our list of the world's most popular cocktails! Blending vodka, Cointreau and cranberry juice and traditionally served in a martini glass, the Cosmo is the cocktail of choice for many glamorous individuals.

Created by The Martini Queen of South Beach, Cheryl Cook, in the 1980s, the Cosmo was designed to be aesthetically pleasing to appeal to more women. This modern, classic cocktail is incredibly popular around the world and can be easily adapted by adding a splash of champagne to make it even more glitzy.

When you think of a Daiquiri you may think of clear blue skies over sandy Cuban beaches. While it may seem like it's a cocktail that's best-suited for a tropical holiday, the Daiquiri is actually the most-ordered rum cocktail in pubs and bars across the globe.

This classic, popular cocktail, which remains a Cuban speciality, combines just 3 very simple ingredients, rum, citrus juice and sugar for the fresh flavour we all enjoy. Typically garnished with a lime slice too, the Daiquiri is one of the most well-balanced cocktails around.

The Gimlet is a simple cocktail combining gin and lime to create an ultra-refreshing drink that has stood the test of time and become one of the most popular cocktails around. With its sharp kick, the Gimlet has an unmistakable flavour that's ideal for sipping on during those warm summer evenings

The classic Manhattan cocktail has survived countless trends, outlasted prohibition and is now known as one of the greatest cocktails ever made. I think we can all agree it definitely deserves its spot amongst the world's most popular cocktails! Made with whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters the Manhattan is the perfect after-dinner tipple.

First mixed in 1870 at the Manhattan Club (who would've guessed?) by Jennie Jerome, the mother of Winston Churchill, the cocktail was a huge hit and has remained just as popular ever since. It's now widely available in bars, cafes and restaurants all over the world and is very highly regarded by both bartenders and patrons alike.

A staple on many menus and an Italian classic, the Negroni is punchy, bittersweet and the ideal dinnertime aperitivo. Although many Italians will say that it's appropriate to drink any time of day!

Combining equal parts of gin, vermouth and Campari, the Negroni is an iconic cocktail that will always be in style! Poured over ice and with a slice of orange to garnish, it's easy to see why it's one of the most popular cocktails not only in Italy, but around the world.

With an air of class and sophistication, the Old Fashioned cocktail is a classic that remains just as popular now as it did over 200 years ago. Mixing Bourbon Whiskey, bitters, sugar and a dash of water led to this dark and delicious cocktail.

The origins of this classic cocktail are a little foggy, with so many people claiming they created it it's difficult to trust anyone! The most common story is that it was invented in the late 1800s. This was when new liqueurs became available to bartenders, resulting in new and improved whiskey cocktails. But, many bar-goers simply ordered a cocktail 'the old fashioned way'. Even today the Old Fashioned has been the number one selling cocktail in many bars. You just can't beat a classic!

A mixology classic, the Espresso Martini is the caffeinated cocktail of choice for coffee lovers everywhere. Combining vodka and coffee liqueur for a rich, robust and distinct flavour, this sophisticated cocktail will remain the stuff of myth and legend for years to come.

Named as the UK's favourite drink, the Passion Fruit Martini has become the go-to tipple for many. This modern-classic popular cocktail is made with vanilla vodka, fresh passion fruit, passion fruit liqueur and lime juice. It's also served with a shot of champagne or prosecco on the side to pour over the passion fruit to release all the wonderful flavours.

Created in London by the owner of the LAB bar, the Passion Fruit Martini was an instant hit and became the ultimate party drink. Stylish, fun and indulgent, this cocktail evokes confidence in those who drink it and looks amazing in the classic martini style glass. We're certain the Passion Fruit Martini will remain highly popular for decades.

Over the last few years, the humble Mimosa has soared in popularity! Traditionally served in a champagne flute at brunch, weddings or in first class on some airlines, the Mimosa combines just two ingredients, champagne and chilled orange juice.

Invented by Frank Meier in 1925, the Mimosa was first served at The Ritz Hotel in Paris. Eventually, it was picked up by the British and was loved so much by the royal family that it took the rest of the world by storm. Nowadays, both American and European brunches are incomplete without a Mimosa. The cocktail is so popular there is even a National Mimosa Day to celebrate it (May 16th if you were wondering).

Classics (Literae Humaniores) is a wide-ranging degree devoted to the study of the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome and their reception into modern times. It is one of the most varied and interdisciplinary of all subjects. Classics students at Oxford have the opportunity to study the languages, literature, history, and archaeology of the Greek and Roman Mediterranean, as well as philosophy (both ancient and modern) and linguistics.

Oxford has the largest Classics Faculty in the world, with over sixty full-time academic staff-members. It has outstanding teaching, library and museum resources. Resources include the Bodleian Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library and Bodleian Libraries, the Ashmolean Museum and a designated Classics Centre.

The breadth of expertise in the Faculty allows us to offer an extremely wide range of courses from Homeric archaeology to Byzantine literature. The length of the course allows students to explore the various disciplines within this vast subject and to engage with their particular interests within the classical world in real depth.

'Classics is a fabulous course in part because there is something for everyone. When it comes to Greats [final exams] ... I think there are about 80 options, of which we can only choose eight. This means that, although when I arrived here I thought I'd be a literature buff, I actually have become a "philosopher" of sorts. I have been able to take five philosophy options ranging from Plato and Aristotle to Theory of politics and Philosophy of language, and I've loved it!'

'I was attracted to the Classics course at Oxford because of its diversity and commitment to learning Latin and Ancient Greek. During the first two years, as well as intensive language classes designed to advance your ability quickly to read texts in the original language, I had the opportunity to choose from options covering topics from philosophy to ancient art. I have particularly enjoyed being on the Undergraduate Joint Consultative Committee, in which faculty members consult undergraduates for their input on the workings of and changes to be made within the department.'

'Studying Classics prepared me for managing an enormous and varied workload. Picking apart essays with my tutors prepared me for editing other people's writing. It also gave me a good foundation of knowledge for publishing translations.'

Much of the teaching will take place in your college, but lectures are given in the Classics Faculty and the Examination Schools, and for particular subjects you may also work with tutors from other colleges.

Tutorials in colleges usually involve up to three students and a tutor. Class sizes will vary depending on the options you choose, and there are usually 5-10 students in a class. Some classes are jointly taught by two tutors at the same time. For centrally organised language classes in Classics, there are usually 8-10 students in a group.

Most tutorials, classes, and lectures are delivered by senior staff who are active researchers in their subject. Many are world-leading experts with years of experience in teaching and research. Some teaching may be delivered by postgraduate students at doctorate level.

If your personal or educational circumstances have meant you are unlikely to achieve the grades listed above for undergraduate study, but you still have a strong interest in the subject, then applying for Classics with a Foundation Year might be right for you.

We don't want anyone who has the academic ability to get a place to study here to be held back by their financial circumstances. To meet that aim, Oxford offers one of the most generous financial support packages available for UK students and this may be supplemented by support from your college.

Living costs for the academic year starting in 2024 are estimated to be between 1,345 and 1,955 for each month you are in Oxford. Our academic year is made up of three eight-week terms, so you would not usually need to be in Oxford for much more than six months of the year but may wish to budget over a nine-month period to ensure you also have sufficient funds during the holidays to meet essential costs.
