http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollinaris_(water) 

Apollinaris is a brand of effervescent table water, very well-known in German-speaking countries as "The Queen of Table Waters".

Since 1852, Apollinaris is sourced from a spring in Bad Neuenahr, Germany.

Since the mid-1930s and until 1945, the Apollinaris company was controlled by the Amt III ('third office'), a division of the SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt' Amtsgruppe W in charge of the food industry in Nazi Germany. Along with other mineral waters—Sudetenquell and Mattoni—Apollinaris was bottled at the Rheinglassfabrik bottling plant, also controlled by the SS.

Today the source and the brand of Apollinaris belong to Coca-Cola which had acquired it from the multinational Cadbury-Schweppes in 2006.

The fictional main-character of the novel American Psycho, Patrick Bateman is depicted as enjoying this water.

A muddler is a bartender's tool, used to "muddle" — or make a mash of — fruits, herbs, and/or spices in the bottom of a glass to release their flavor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass 

A shot glass is a small glass designed to hold or measure one to three ounces of liquor, to be poured into a mixed drink, or drunk straight from the glass (a "shot"). The modern thick-walled shot glass probably originated in the United States during the Prohibition era, and the term "shot glass" or "shotglass" first appeared in print in the 1940s.

Jigger or pony is an earlier name for a container used to measure or drink a standard quantity of liquor. A small glass holding a shot of liquor is called a whiskey. American distilleries distributed thin whiskey glasses bearing etched advertising between the late 19th century and the beginning of Prohibition. Shot glasses decorated with a wide variety of advertising, humorous pictures, and toasts are popular souvenirs and collectibles. Pre-prohibition whiskey glasses are also highly collectible.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigger_(bartending) 

A jigger or measure is a bartending tool used to measure liquor, which is typically then poured into a cocktail shaker. It is named for the unit of liquid it typically measures, a 1.5 fluid ounce (~44 ml) jigger or shot. However bar jiggers come in other sizes and may not actually measure a fluid jigger.

A traditional style of jigger is made of stainless steel with two opposing cones in an hourglass shape on the end of a rod. Typically, one cone measures a fluid jigger and the other 1.0 fl. oz. (~30 ml) pony (shot) or 0.75 fl. oz (~22 ml). Other combinations include 2 fl. oz./1 fl. oz. and 1.75 fl. oz./0.75 fl. oz. combinations. A typical British "jigger" measures 50ml on the larger side, and 25ml on the smaller side. A variation on the double jigger excludes the rod. In the UK, to double, or sometimes even triple the measurable amount of liquor within a cocktail or mixed alcoholic beverage is known as a Geraghty Measure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaved_ice

Shaved ice is a slushy form of ice (as opposed to a hard, dense form, e.g. an ice cube or icicle). Many freezers are equipped to dispense either cubed ice or shaved ice, depending on a setting selected by the user, although typically freezer-generated "shaved ice" might more accurately be described as chopped ice cubes. Shaved ice can be used to make snow cones. It can also be used in cleaning pseudoephedrine tablets as a first step in methcathinone manufacture^[1]. Shaved Ice is also an inferior, smaller version of the vicious ping pong paddle known only as "The Icepick". Shaved Ice boasts a much higher speed bonus, but lacks in power and spin factor.
