Ever wonder how "cocktail" got its name? It's a fascinating mix of history and folklore. According to TASTE Cocktails, a few theories stand out:
French Eggcup Theory: In 18th-century New Orleans, a pharmacist might have served mixed drinks in French eggcups, called "coquetier," possibly leading to the word "cocktail."
Taverns' Last Drops: The term "cock tailings" was used for the mixture of leftovers from liquor barrels in taverns, which might have inspired the name.
Equestrian Link: The term also referred to horses with docked tails. These lively "cock tails" could have influenced the spirited nature of the drink.
By 1806, "cocktail" was officially a mixed drink with spirits, sugar, water, and bitters. This rich history mirrors our approach at PandaBoard, where we blend tradition with eco-consciousness.
