According to Merriam Webster, a cocktail is “a usually iced drink of wine or distilled liquor mixed with flavoring ingredients.”
Why Is it Called a Cocktail? | How Cocktails Got Their Name
It is unknown where the word cocktail truly came from, but there are three theories.
- Cock tailings was a phrase for the bottom of the barrel dregs (tailings) that were combined and sold at a discount. The cock part of the term is slang for the tap of the barrel.
- The second theory is that the mispronunciation of the French word coquetier is where cocktail stemmed from. A coquetier is an eggcup. An apothecary named Antoine Amédée Peychaud served brandy with his Peychaud bitters in coquetiers.
- The third theory come from cock tail, which was a phrase used to describe a tail that was similar to a rooster’s. It was typically used when referring to docked tails on horses. The actual association of how cock tail became cocktail, an alcoholic mixed drink is unknown.
