Cocktails originated in the United States, which is acknowledged by most historical materials. The time is about1the end of the 8th century or1the beginning of the 9th century. How to start mixing and drinking this mixed drink with good color and fragrance, and the origin of the name "cocktail" are all different. Here are some examples for readers' reference:
One day, after a banquet, all kinds of wine were left on the table, some were 1/4, some were 1/2. A man who cleans the table mixes all kinds of leftover wine with three or five cups, but it tastes better than the original single wine. Then, man, according to different combinations, several in a row, and so on. After that, these mixed wines were distributed to everyone, and the results were highly evaluated. As a result, this method of mixed drinking became famous and spread. As for why it is called "cocktail" instead of "buddy wine", it is not clear.
The second statement is that in 1775, Pilesgo, who moved to Haranger, new york, USA, opened a pharmacy downtown to make various kinds of refined wines and sell them to customers. One day, he mixed the eggs into medicinal liquor for sale, and got a good cheer. From then on, customers were crowded and business was booming. At that time, many people in Haranger, new york spoke French. They called it a "cork car" with a French accent, and later it became an English "cocktail". Since then, cocktails have become people's favorite mixed wine, and there are more and more fancy styles.
Third, about19th century. Clifford, an American, runs a hotel in the Hudson River. The Keke family has three things to be proud of, which are called the Three Wonders of Tang Ke. First, he has a fat, strong and majestic cock, which is a famous hand on a chicken farm; Second, his cellar is said to have the most outstanding wine in the world; Thirdly, he boasted that his daughter, Ian Millie, was the most beautiful woman in the city, as if the whole world was unique. There is a young man named Akinruth in town who comes to this hotel every night to kill time leisurely. He is a crew member of the Hudson River cargo ship. Over the years, he and Ernie Millie have fallen in love. The young man has a good temper and is practical in his work. Old Kerry really likes him, but he often plays tricks on him and says, "Young man, do you want to eat swan meat?" I'll give you one condition. You should become a captain as soon as possible. "The young man is persistent, studies hard and works hard. After several years, he finally became a captain, and Ernie Millie naturally became his wife. At the wedding, the old man was very happy. He took out all the best vintage wine in the cellar, blended it into "peerless wine" and decorated the wine glass with the cock's tail feather, which was extremely beautiful. Then drink to the daughter and the young son-in-law, and shout "Long live the chicken tail! "Since then, cocktails have become popular.
Fourthly, according to legend, during the American independence, an Irish girl named Please opened a hotel in new york. During the period of 1779, some American and French officials in the Washington army often went to this hotel and drank a mixed exciting drink called "Bledsoe". However, these people don't drink quietly and relax, but often make fun of the shopkeeper and compare please to a little hen for fun. One day, the young lady was very angry. She came up with an idea to teach them a lesson. She found a rooster's tail feather from the farmer's henhouse and put it in Bryce's cup. Give it to the officers, and curse those who have dicks and tails. Although the guests were surprised, they didn't understand it, but they just thought it was particularly beautiful. Then, a French officer casually shouted "Long live the chicken tail". Since then, "Bryce" with cock tail feathers has become a kind of "cocktail", which has been passed down to this day.
Fifth, it is said that many years ago, an English ship docked in Kanerjee town of Yucatan Peninsula, and all the crew members went to the bar in the town to drink. On the balcony of the bar, a teenager stirred mixed wine for the sailors with branches. After a sailor drank it, he felt that the wine was extraordinary and mellow. It was the first glass of wine he drank in his life. So he went up to the boy and asked, "What's the name of this wine? The boy thought he was asking the name of the branch, so he replied, "Crager, Kager. "This is a Spanish word, meaning' chicken tail'. Teenagers once joked that the shape of the branch was similar to the tail feather of a rooster, but the crew mistakenly thought it was "chicken's tail wine", and since then "cocktail" has become another name for mixed wine.
There are various theories about the origin of cocktails.
For example, it evolved into a cocktail in the name of an aristocratic woman, Oxc-hitel, to show dignity: the cock's tail feather symbolizes heroism; The colorful chicken tail symbolizes the beauty and superb bartending skills of the bartender; Wait a minute. In fact, the origin of cocktails has no practical significance, but allows drinkers to enjoy a perfect cocktail at a relaxed cocktail party, and at the same time adds a chilling topic. However, it is not difficult to imagine that since there are so many beautiful legends about the origin of cocktails, cocktails may indeed have their unique charm.
