Spirit refers to a type of distilled alcoholic beverage that contains a higher concentration of alcohol compared to fermented drinks like beer or wine. Common examples of spirits include vodka, whiskey, rum, and gin. They are typically produced through the process of fermentation followed by distillation, which separates alcohol from water and other components. Spirits are often enjoyed in various ways, such as neat, on the rocks, or as part of cocktails. The alcohol content in spirits usually ranges from 20% to over 50% by volume, making them a popular choice for social gatherings and celebrations.
