The cocktail's origins in the Americas are recognized by most historical sources as being around the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century. How exactly to start mixing and drinking this kind of color, aroma and taste of mixed drinks, as well as the origin of the name "cocktail", there are many different opinions, now cited a few to the reader:
One day, after a banquet, the seat left a variety of different drinks, some cups left in 1/4, some cups left in 1/2. A clearing table fellow, the various kinds of leftover wine, some of the cups left in 1/2. A fellow who was clearing the table, mixed all kinds of leftover wine together in three or five cups, and tasted it better than the original single wine. Then the fellow mixed several kinds of wine in different combinations, and so on. After this, these mixed wines were given to everyone to drink, and the results were highly evaluated. As a result, this method of mixing drinks became famous and spread. It is not known why it was called "cocktail" instead of "mate's drink".
The second story is that in 1775, Pellegrino, who had moved to Allentown, New York, opened a drugstore in the center of the city and made a variety of refined liquors to sell to customers. One day he mixed eggs into the wine to sell, get a piece of praise. From then on, customers filled the door and business was booming. At that time, most people in Allentown, New York, spoke French, and they used a French accent to call it a "Cocktail", which later became "Cocktail" in English. Since then, cocktails have become a favorite drink mix, and more and more styles.
Thirdly, it is about the 19th century. American Clifford ran a hotel on the Hudson River. The Clifford family had three things they were proud of, known as the Clifford's Three. First, he had a large, well-fed and imposing rooster, which was a famous fighter in the cockfighting arena; second, his wine storehouse was said to have the most outstanding wines in the world; and third, he boasted that his daughter, Ain't Millie, was the city's number one most beautiful woman, and seemed to be the only one in the whole world. There was a young man in town named Akinruth who came to the hotel every night to relax for a while, a crew member on a freighter that traveled up and down the Hudson River. Over the years, he and Emily fell in love. This young man is good natured, practical work, the old Kerry heart like him, but often tease him and say: "young man, you want to eat swan meat? Give you a condition, you quickly try to become a captain." The young man is very persistent, study hard, work hard, a few years later finally became a captain, Ai Enmily naturally also became his wife. On the wedding day, the old man was so happy that he took out all the best aged wine from the cellar and mixed it into "The Greatest Wine" and decorated the rim of the glass with a rooster's tail feather, which was very beautiful. Then he toasted to his daughter and top son-in-law and shouted, "Long live the cocktail!" Since then, cocktails have become very popular.
Fourth, according to legend, during the period of American Independence, there was a girl of Irish nationality named Bowers, who opened a hotel in New York, and in 1779, some American and French officers in Washington's army often went to this hotel and drank a kind of mixed excitement drink called "Bledsoe". However, these people were not calmly drinking and relaxing, but often made fun of the owner of the store, Miss, compared to a small hen to make fun of Baitus. One day, the lady was so angry that she came up with an idea to teach them a lesson. She took a cock's tail feather from a farmer's henhouse and put it in a glass of "Bresso". She gave it to the officers to drink, in order to curse the men with the cock's tail. Guests see the situation is very surprised, but can not understand, only think it is very beautiful, so a French officer casually shouted "long live the cocktail" from then on, to add the rooster's tail feathers of the "Bledsoe" has become "cocktails "The cocktail has been handed down to this day.
Fifth, legend has it that many years ago, there was a British ship anchored in the town of Kanger on the peninsula of Yucatan, and the crew went to the town bar to drink. Inside the bar was a young boy who stirred up a mixture for the seamen with a tree branch. One of the seafarers drank it and felt that the wine was extraordinary in flavor and was like nothing he had ever tasted before in his life. So he went to the boy and asked, "What is the name of this wine? The boy thought he was asking about the name of the branch, so he replied, "Koraje, kaje." This is a Spanish word for "cocktail". The young man replied jokingly that the branch resembled a rooster's tail feathers, but the crew mistook it for a cocktail. From then on, "cocktail" became an alias for mixed drinks.
There are various other stories about the origin of the cocktail.
For example, the name of a noblewoman, Oxc-hitel, evolved into Cocktail, as a sign of respectability: cocktail tail feathers to symbolize heroism: colorful cocktail to symbolize the bartender's love of beauty and bartending skills; and so on. In fact, the origin of the cocktail has no practical significance, just let the drinker in the relaxed cocktail party, enjoy a perfect cocktail at the same time, more than a chitchat topic only.
