Etymology
The term 'cocktail' originated in the early 19th century in the United States. It was initially used to describe a specific type of alcoholic drink consisting of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. Over time, the definition of cocktail has expanded to include a wide range of mixed drinks. The exact origins of the word are unclear, but it is believed to have been derived from the French word 'coquetier', which means an eggcup. The first recorded use of the word 'cocktail' in its current sense was in a New York newspaper in 1806.
