Contrary to its name, the White Russian doesn’t hail from Russia. Instead, the cocktail, dating back to 1949, was invented in Belgium when Gustav Tops, a Belgian bartender, created the cocktail alongside its sister cocktail, the black Russian, at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels. The drink names references the main ingredient in both cocktails, vodka. Take a sip and start dreaming about Belgium, the European country of chocolates, fries and beer. Imagine yourself exploring the... Grand Palace of Brussels, wandering along the picturesque canals of Bruges, or indulging in Belgium’s other most popular food waffles. And, when the time is right, we’re here to help you plan your perfect trip! #travel #cocktails #cocktailrecipe #cocktailsofinstagram #instatravel #travelgram #travelinspo #wanderlust #traveladvice #traveltips #travelagent #traveladvisor #ensembletravel #whiterussian#whiterussiancocktail #belgium #Cocktailhistory

Widely known as a Mexican Bloody Mary (red in color, flavorful and spicy), the Michelada substitutes beer for vodka. One popular tale has it that the Michelada’s origin came from a man named Michel Ésper at Club Deportivo Potosino in San Luis Potosí, Mexico in the 1960s. Michel began to ask for his beer with lime, salt and ice in a special cup called a "chabela," as if it were a beer lemonade (limonada). Other members of the club began asking for the cocktail as "Michel's l...emonade," and the name eventually shortened to Michelada. As time went by, other ingredients were added to the mix. Prepare this iconic Mexican cocktail, take a sip and imagine yourself discovering (or rediscovering) one of the world’s favorite tourist destinations. Mexico is popular not only for its history, traditions, culture, delicious cuisine, and the warmth of its people, but also for its variety of beautiful beaches. Ready to visit?

Answer to previous post. The most famous ship in Canadian history, the Bluenose is the name of this ship. It was both a fishing and racing vessel in the 1920s and 1930s. The Nova Scotia schooner achieved immortality when its image was engraved onto the Canadian dime in 1922. The Bluenose struck a reef off Isle aux Vache, Haiti on 28 January 1946. Despite the loss, the legacy and admiration for the once mighty schooner lived on in the hearts and minds of Canadians especially... Nova Scotians. In 1963, Bluenose II was launched. To this day it sails out of Lunenburg and visits ports throughout Nova Scotia and North America. It is regularly open to the public, offering cruises and onboard access to its many admirers. #CanadianTrivial #TravelTrivia #FunFactsWithTTG #Lunenburg #NovaScotia #ExploreNovaScotia Image credit: coins unlimited

Unknown to most, mulled wine was actually created by the Romans who drank hot wine as a defense technique to warm their bodies during harsh winters. But, as the Romans conquered most of Europe, the beverage became popular all throughout their empire and the regions they traded with. Each region had its own name for the beverage glögg in Sweden, glühwein in Germany, grzaniec galicyjski in Poland, vin brûlé in Italy, and vin chaud in France. However, the turning point for mul...led wine came in the 1890s when glögg (Swedish mulled wine) became associated with Christmas. From then on, mulled wine became a global phenomenon. Prepare this classic winter cocktail, take a sip and imagine yourself strolling cobblestone streets in Europe while meandering through a Christmas market. The sound of carolers is in the air, the smells of cinnamon, nutmeg and chestnuts tickle your nose, and glistening lights glow amidst the light snowfall. Sound like a dream? When the time is right, we’re here to help you experience it all in person! #cocktails #cocktailrecipe #travelinspo #travelgram #europe #europetravel #mulledwine #wintercocktail #winterdrink #holidaytime #holidayseason #christmas #christmasmarket #cocktailsofinstagram #instatravel #wanderlust #passport #travel #travelagent #traveladvisor #History
