Cocktails

  • A Cocktail is a mix of at least three Ingredients, one Spirit (any), one Sugary and one Bitter. The first Definition of a Cocktail was in the USA in 1806, and was defined as a liquor consisting of a spirit, sugar, bitters and water.
  • Cocktails are made in a ‘Cocktail Shaker’ and then poured into a ‘Cocktail Glass’, which now varies in shape and size.
