An alcoholic cocktail is a drink that combines several ingredients, one of which is alcohol. Mixing liquids and adding spices and fruits to them creates a new drink. The composition of cocktails can vary greatly. Most of them use ice, which is worth paying attention to Special attention. For its preparation, either weakly mineralized or simply pure water. It should not contain impurities and be transparent.

There are several versions of the appearance of cocktails. The most romantic one dates back to 1770. Then the owner of a bar near New York lost his favorite rooster. The owner announced that he would give his daughter as a wife to the one who finds this bird. After some time, a military officer brought the rooster, but the bird did not have a tail. The owner was forced to announce to all the bar regulars about the upcoming wedding. My daughter, who worked in the same establishment, began stirring all the drinks out of excitement. Visitors liked the new product so much that it was nicknamed “cock tail” from the phrase “cock tail”.

Another legend dates back to the 15th century. They say that in the French province of Charente they were already mixing wines and spirits. The resulting mixture was called coquetelle (cocktail), which was later transformed into the word “cocktail”. The third story says that the first such drink appeared in England. And its very name came from the vocabulary of a horse racing fan. This is what he called the mixed-bred horses whose tails stuck out like roosters. These horses with mixed blood were nicknamed cock tail.

They say that the cocktails were very revered by French officers, who drank them right next to their enemy colonists. And this happened during the American War of Independence. But such drinks gained true fame in the 1920s in America. Cocktails were illegal, and therefore an even more beloved and valued alcoholic drink. Cocktails resisted Prohibition from 1919 to 1933. They were prepared to hide the taste of alcohol.

Be that as it may, today it is impossible to imagine a cocktail without some strong and unusual drink in its composition. It can be assumed that gin was first used for these purposes. It then had a strong sweetish taste, which should have been hidden in a mixture with other drinks. The recipes for those cocktails that have come down to us date back to the second half of the 19th century. These were Martini, Daiquiri and Manhattan. Classic drinks that are still popular today were invented in the 1920s.

Bloody Mary and Side Car appeared in Paris, and Americano and Negroni appeared in Italy. At that time, the cocktails were called American Drinks, as they were especially popular among Americans looking for entertainment outside their country. Today, with the advent of new liqueurs, aromas and exotic fruits, the fashion for cocktails is returning. Below we will tell you about the most famous drinks of such kind.

Mojito. This masculine word comes from the Spanish Mojito. The cocktail is created on the basis of white rum with the addition of mint leaves. There are two types of mojito - non-alcoholic and low-alcohol. This drink appeared in Cuba, but gained popularity in America in the 1980s. There are several theories explaining its name. It is believed that the word may have come from a diminutive form of the Spanish Mojo. This is the name of the sauce in Cuba and the Caribbean, which contains: lemon juice, pepper, garlic, herbs and vegetable oil. Another version says that mojito is a modification of "mohadito", which means "slightly wet". The modern cocktail contains five ingredients - rum, lime, sugar, soda and mint. This combination of sweet and refreshing citrus with mint, coupled with rum, masked the strength of the alcohol, which cannot leave you indifferent. This is how the cocktail became one of the most popular summer drinks. Some hotels in Havana also add Angostura to it. The non-alcoholic version of the mojito uses water and brown cane sugar instead of white rum. The cocktail is prepared like this: add sugar to lime juice, tear mint leaves and place it all in a tall glass. Ice is then added and rum and soda are poured on top. It should be noted that the mojito, the world's most popular cocktail, can have many variations. Some people like to add strawberries, while others like to add fruit juices.

Cocktail" Blue Lagoon". This drink gives the person drinking it originality and individuality. After all, that’s exactly what the cocktail itself is. The first thing that catches your eye is its unique blue color. It’s interesting that this exotic cocktail was not invented in Hawaii, but on the other side of the world - in the bar of the Zanzibar club in London. This drink is full of flavors. It is mentioned as fresh, summer and dairy. "Blue Lagoon" is served in a large glass with umbrellas and straws. Thanks to the drink, an exotic atmosphere is immediately created around. To prepare, you will need Bacardi rum, Curaçao blue liqueur, pineapple and lemon juice, and sugar syrup with ice. To serve the cocktail, pineapple pieces, mint leaves and cocktail cherries are used. Liquids must be mixed with ice in a special portioned container. Then the cocktail is decorated with the listed elements and a straw is added.

Cocktail "Cosmopolitan". This cosmopolitan cocktail lives up to its name as it is popular all over the world. He can often be seen in films and TV series, at parties. One of the legends of its creation says that the drink was invented specifically for the lemon-flavored vodka Absolut Citron. The cocktail was supposed to support a famous brand. Although they say that it was actually invented by bartender Cheryl Cook from the town of South Beach in Florida. Although there was talk about the popularity of “Cosmopolitan” in gay bars back in the 70s, she herself claimed in her interviews that she created such a cocktail in 1985. Cook said she was amazed by the number of people who order martinis just to show off with a glass in their hands. This is how the idea was born to create a drink that would be both tasty and visually attract attention. In the original recipe, to prepare the cocktail you need the same “Absolut Citron” vodka, “Triple Sec” orange liqueur, a little “Rose’s” lemon juice, and to create Pink colour you should add a little cranberry. Another important figure in the history of the cocktail was Toby Cizzini from Manhattan. Based on Cheryl Cook's vague recipe descriptions, he made his own version of Cosmopolitan. Only instead of orange liqueur, Toby used Cointreau liqueur, as well as freshly squeezed lime juice. It is this version that has become the generally accepted standard approved by the International Bartenders Association. The cocktail quickly became popular in gay clubs; it was considered a classic specifically for sexual minorities. But with the release of Sex and the City in 1998, everything changed. In the film "Cosmopolitan" appeared quite often, as the favorite drink of the main characters. This cocktail is served in large glasses, martinits. To decorate it, use a slice of lemon or lime.

Pina colada. They even write songs about this fiery, sexy cocktail. A sweet drink native to the Caribbean islands. Its name literally means “filtered pineapple.” Once upon a time, this was the name given to fresh pineapple juice that was served strained (colada). Over time, sugar and rum began to be added to the juice. As a result, in the middle of the 20th century, a recipe for the Pina Colada cocktail appeared in one of the bars in Puerto Rico. Everyone loved the drink so quickly that it became famous, and the whole country began to be proud of it. Today, the main ingredients of this cocktail are rum, pineapple juice and coconut liqueur. Mix these ingredients in a blender, add ice and pour into a glass. They are topped with whipped cream and decorated with fruit. Some bartenders also add Baileys liqueur to Pina Colada, which only adds to the exoticism.

Cocktail "Daiquiri". Currently, this name hides a whole group of cocktails, but there is only one original recipe. The classic drink was created in the town of Daiquiri at the beginning of the last century. There, in eastern Cuba, engineer Pagliucci decided to drink something unusual. However, his friend Jennings Cox only had rum, lime, sugar and ice. By mixing these ingredients in a shaker, the men got a new, pleasant cocktail. They decided to name it after the place where it was made - Daiquiri. For one serving, 40 ml of white rum, 20 ml of lime juice and 7 ml of sugar syrup are enough.

Cocktail "Margarita". This famous cocktail often appears in movies. They make Margaritas based on tequila, this is one of the best summer cocktails. As is usually the case with new cocktails, this one has several origin stories. In general, almost half of the towns in South and Central America are fighting for the right to be called the birthplace of the drink. One of the legends says that “Margarita” was first prepared in 1938 by bartender Carlos Herrera for the aspiring actress Margarita King in one of the bars in Tijuana. The visitor was so amazed by her beauty that the bartender decided to do something unusual for her sake. Another version says that in 1948, Tommy Hilton, the owner of a chain of hotels of the same name, became the first to try an amazing cocktail at a villa in Acapulco. The mistress of the house was Margarita Seims. Guests at her home were served a tequila-based drink at the reception. Tommy liked the cocktail so much that soon it was on the menu of every bar in his hotels. The third legend tells about the love of the manager of the Crespo Hotel, Danny Negrete, for the girl Margarita. She visited her chosen one at night. It was for her that he came up with a new drink, mixing tequila, lemon juice and Cointreau. In the classic recipe, these components should be used in proportions of 2:2:1. The cocktail is prepared in a shaker with crushed ice or in a blender with big amount frozen water. Margarita should be served in a wide special glass. This drink can be decorated with salt or sugar to taste.

Cocktail "B52". This cocktail is unusual, because it consists of three layers of liqueurs at once. If the drink is prepared correctly, then coffee liqueur (for example, Kahlua), Baileys and Marie Brizard Grand Orange liqueurs do not mix, and the boundary between them is clearly visible. And in this case, there are several stories about the origin of such a cocktail. They say that it was first created at the Alice bar in Malibu. New drink got its name in honor of the American bomber Boeing B-52 Strotofortress. Another legend attributes the honor of creating the cocktail to the Keg steakhouse bar in Calgary. However, of these versions, the one that is directly related to a military aircraft looks more logical. The fact is that it was at this time that this ultra-long-range strategic missile-carrying bomber was created, which has been in combat service since 1955. And a simple glance at a glass of a truly professionally prepared cocktail gives associations with an exploding nuclear bomb. But it was precisely for its transportation that the very B-52 bomber was designed. To prepare liqueur in the form of uniform and not torn layers, you must first pour one part of the coffee liqueur into a shot glass, then slowly and carefully pour the cream liqueur over the back of a spoon. Orange liqueur is also carefully poured on top (Cointreau is suitable for this role). If everything is done correctly, a three-layer B-52 cocktail will be formed. Often, when it is already ready, it is also set on fire. In this case, the B-52 cocktail must be drunk very quickly through a straw before it has time to melt. The taste of the drink in this case is no different from classic recipe, but it all looks much more impressive, attracting the attention of others. The “pilot” starts drinking the cocktail cold from the very bottom, gradually the liquid becomes warmer, and at the very end it is completely hot. This is how the effect of rapid takeoff and turn is achieved. The good thing about this cocktail is that its judicious use guarantees a “soft landing.” In just a few minutes you will be able to look at the world around you with sober eyes again. There is also a cocktail option in which the layers are mixed and served over ice.

Long Island cocktail. This one is easy to prepare and strong cocktail was invented during Prohibition in America. The Long Island Ice-tea Cocktail quickly gained popularity in bars, because in appearance it resembled a peaceful glass of iced tea. It was difficult for outsiders to understand that the tea-like drink with lemon was in fact an explosive, intoxicating mixture, and so tasty too! As happens with other cocktails, the exact date of the appearance of the drink and its history are still unknown, becoming surrounded by legends. According to one of them, it was not invented at all during Prohibition, but it happened in the late 1970s. The cocktail was invented by bartender Rosebud Butt. In any case, the cocktail is not a banal mixture of vodka and cola, but much more complex, but no less Reviver. Although, according to the canons of bartending, a cocktail should have no more than five ingredients, the Long Island is the only recognized exception. The composition includes equal proportions of 14 ml of triple sec, white rum, gin, vodka tequila, 28 ml of tea, as well as cola and a slice of lemon. Strong liquids should be mixed in a Collins or Highball glass and added ice. Then stir the mixture and add cola. Order such a cocktail on a cold evening and then you can be stuck in the bar for a long time. The cocktail is also noted for its considerable volume, which only prolongs the pleasure.

Cocktail "Sex on the Beach". This popular cocktail, just by its name, evokes dreams of relaxation, the sea, and love. The drink contains vodka, peach liqueur (schnaps), cranberry and orange juice. This cocktail is officially recognized by the International Bartenders Association (IBA). To prepare, take 2 parts of vodka, both juices and one part of peach liqueur. Mix all this in a shaker and pour into a highball glass filled with ice. After this, the cocktail is decorated with a slice of orange. This drink should be drunk through a straw. Sometimes pineapple juice is also added to Sex on the Beach. It happens that a cocktail is poured not into a highball glass, but into a hurricane. The drink is sometimes decorated with a cherry and a slice of lime.

Cocktail "Cuba Libre". This Cuban cocktail has already conquered the whole world. It appeared during the Spanish-American War. One day, a group of American soldiers who were on leave at that moment entered one of the bars in Havana. One of them, feeling homesick, ordered rum and cola, ice and a slice of lemon. He liked this cocktail so much that it aroused keen interest among his colleagues. The soldiers asked the bartenders to prepare the same drink for them. Then the fun began, in the midst of which one of the soldiers made a toast in honor of the freedom the island had received: “Por Cuba Libre!” The crowd responded with "Cubra libre!" To prepare the cocktail, squeeze lime juice into a Collins glass and add ice, then add rum and cola and stir.

Bloody Mary cocktail. This drink is the most famous among cocktails, invariably occupying the first place in popularity ratings. Meanwhile, many myths and secrets hover around Bloody Mary. They say that this cocktail was adored by such famous personalities as Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald. And the world fame for “Bloody Mary” came in New York, glorified by bartender Fernand Petiot, who worked at the St. Regis. In 1920, he decided to experiment by adding Tabasco sauce to alcoholic drink. According to legend, Fernand came up with the name “Red Snapper” for the new drink, naming it after the fish. However, one of the visitors renamed the cocktail in his own way, calling it “Bloody Mary”. The successful name quickly stuck to the drink. According to another legend, on the contrary, Petiot initially named his cocktail “Bloody Mary”, but the administration of the King Col bar tried to name it “Red Snapper” in honor of the fish. There is another version of the name of the drink. They say that in Chicago there was a bar called the Bucket of Blood, where the beautiful girl Mary frequented, after whom the cocktail was named. Initially, the drink was extremely primitive, it included vodka and tomato juice. But 15 years after its invention, seasonings and spices began to be added to Bloody Mary. Vodka should be 2 times less than tomato juice. All this is poured into a highball glass and ice is added, and then stirred. Salt and pepper can be added to taste. For those who like spicier drinks, you can even add hot red pepper. There is another version of Bloody Mary, where tequila is used along with vodka. It is mixed with horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, lemon and tomato juice. If desired, you can also add Dijon mustard, sherry and clam brine. First, add ice to the highball glass, followed by the liquid ingredients. Top it all with tomato juice. The cocktail is mixed by pouring from one glass to another. For those who prefer non-alcoholic drinks, there is a version of Bloody Mary without vodka at all. At the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the legendary cocktail in 2008, the granddaughter of the creator made a toast in his honor. In New York, December 1 was even declared Bloody Mary Day. In honor of the anniversary, city bars offered the cocktail at a price dating back to 1933 - 99 cents.
