Fourth, according to legend, during the period of American Independence, there was an Irish girl named Bytches, who opened a hotel in New York, and in 1779, some American and French officers in Washington's army often went to this hotel to drink a mixed 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 From then on, the cocktail became the "cocktail" with the tail feathers of the cockerel, and has been passed down to this day.
