It doesn't matter how good it is to drink a glass of your favorite cocktail in the evening - alcoholic or not, it all depends on your desire and taste. I must say a huge thank you to the person who first thought of mixing several ingredients, as a result of which the first cocktail was born.

Some argue that the word "cocktail" comes from the Spanish expression cola di gallo - the tail of a rooster. So, for the outward resemblance, the root of one of the plants was called, with which a bartender from the town of Campeche on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico mixed the drinks he prepared. American sailors, who never missed a single bar, loved to visit this one in Campeche. When asked what kind of instrument it was in his hands, the polite bartender answered in English: "Cocktail" - "cock's tail". There is another story linking the origin of the "cocktail" with the "tail of a rooster". This story belongs to James Fenimore Cooper. According to him, the first cocktail was prepared in the 70s of the 18th century by Elizabeth Flenegan, a waitress for General Washington's troops. She once served the officers a drink made from rum, rye whiskey and fruit juices, decorating the glasses with feathers from the tails of fighting roosters. One of the officers, French by birth, at the sight of such decoration of glasses, exclaimed: "Vive le cog's tail!" ("Long live the cock's tail!"). Everyone liked this half-French, half-English phrase, and they began to call the drink "cocktail" - cock's tail.

Today there are many recipes for all kinds of cocktails. But there are those among them that are 100 percent present in any bar in the world, be it a French restaurant or an American eatery.

That’s how everyone would have drunk and would have forgotten the creation of the hostess, but among the guests was Tommy Hilton, the owner of the Hilton hotel chain. Tommy, as a pragmatic businessman, realized that good money could be made from the invention of a bohemian lady. A couple of days later, the cocktail appeared on the menus of bars and restaurants in his hotels.
