Question:

What does it mean when an alcoholic drink is smooth?

I have never been sure what the smooth part is?


Answers:
Well, cheap or inexpensive alcohol makes your throat feel raspy or burny and scratchy. Smooth alcohol goes down smoothly. Its usually a good and expensive brand. ALMOST like water.

It means that the alcohol isn't noticeable. It could be that the drink is well mixed (like Long Island Iced Teas) or that it is very sweet.

its usually better tasting alcohol.... its goes down better like smooth....

It means balance. It means it's got balance. It means alcohol, which is an extreme ingredient, becomes just part of the recipe. It means something different for everyone. But the point is, the person can enjoy the beverage easy despite alcohol's dominance.

Russians refer to a smooth drink as "chistee prodookt" meaning "clean product." Vodka and sake are about as close as you can come to this sort of drink.
