introduction to
COCKTAIL
The earliest definition of this type of drink
comes from the May 13, 1806, edition of the Balance and Columbian Repository, a
publication in Hudson, New York, where the paper provided an answer to the
question, "What is a cocktail?".
It reads:"Cocktail is a stimulating
liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters — it is
vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent
electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the
same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic
candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to
swallow anything else."
