What is Bartending?

Bishop is one of the classic English hot strokes or hot toddlers that were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. In fact, most British taverns would offer their customers a bishop, and especially during the Christmas season. The bishop derives his name from his purple color reminiscent of the uniform worn by the bishops of the Anglican faith.

Samuel Johnson in his dictionary seems to be well familiar with the drink. He defined it as "an elevated word for a mixture of wine, orange and sugar". In fact, many forms of bishop would be made with a harbor, not with red wine. This would sweeten the drink that decreased to the amount of sugar needed. The bishop was also generally a clove root, anise and cinnamon to provide another kick.

Although traditionally serves hot, which somewhat reduced the alcohol content, some people enjoyed drinking a cold bishop. In this way it is somewhat similar to Sangria, a traditional combination of oranges, possibly other fruit and red wine, popularIn Spain and in many Latin American countries. However, sangria is usually not spicy.

Charles Dickens refers to Bishop on many occasions in his work. Most remarkably, after changing the heart Scrooge in Christmas carols refers to a pleasant discussion that will have to increase the salary of Bob Cratchit and help his family "through the Christmas bowl of smoking the bishop". Also mention from the bishop in Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby and The Pickwick Papers . Some of the strokes invented by Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield are also quite reminiscent of Bishop in their ingredients.

Bishop would be delivered to all family members, because it was quite common for young people to share alcoholic beverages. It could also be a reassuring bishop or other hot strikes, because the houses were often Queite winter, especially those who belong to the poor. Even beers were often heated nEbo formed by the basis of sweet and hot mixed drinks.
