Answers.Text: Thanks for the answer. Do they generally have the sour taste of vinegar or does the vinegar's characterisitc taste rather vanish under sweetness? Or is it a case-by-case difference?

Body: <p>Being a huge fan of vinegar, I recently wondered if there are any actual known cocktail recipes/drinks that involve vinegar as an ingredient, preferably as a significant ingredient contributing perceivably to the drink's taste.</p>
  
  <p>While there are drinks with a more spicy/hearty flavour, like <em>Bloody Mary</em>, I never heard of a cocktail involving vinegar and wonder if it would even work together with alcohol from a flavour-perspective. I could imagine the best targets to be spirits with a rather low-profile taste of their own, like vodka.</p>
