1. Whiskey can be made from all of the following EXCEPT:

1. A. Rye
2. B. Spelt
3. B. Whiskey cannot be made (or at least hasn’t been made) with spelt, though many Scotsmen will tell you "It’s spelt whisky." Use your favorite in the tart Cherry Smash.
4. C. Barley
5. D. Corn

2. Mezcal is distilled from:

1. A. Tequila
2. B. Agave
3. B. Mezcal is made from the agave plant, known as maguey in Spanish. Tequila is also agave-based, but only the blue agave plant can be used to make it in specific regions. Its smoky flavor is perfect in the fruity Melon Mezcalito.
4. C. Pineapple
5. D. None of the above

3. The predominant flavoring in gin is:

1. A. Anise
2. B. Caraway
3. C. Sage
4. D. Juniper
5. D. Gin is made with juniper berries, plus a blend of other botanicals, including caraway and anise. Juniper berries aren’t actually berries at all: They’re cones, like pinecones, but tiny and smooth. A junipery gin is great in this Rosemary Gin Fizz.

4. Bourbon can only be made in:

1. A. Kentucky
2. B. Tennessee
3. C. Angst
4. D. It can be made anywhere in the U.S.
5. D. Bourbon can be made even in Alaska, as long as it’s distilled with at least 51 percent corn and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years. A sweet-smoky bourbon is ideal for this orangey Marmalade Whiskey Sour.
