How nice it is to drink a glass of your favorite cocktail in the evening - alcoholic or not, it doesn't matter, it all depends on your desire and taste. I must say a huge thank you to the person who first thought of mixing several ingredients, as a result of which the first cocktail was born.

Some argue that the word "cocktail" comes from the Spanish expression cola di gallo - the tail of a rooster. So for the outward resemblance, they called the root of one of the plants with which the bartender from the town of Campeche on the Gulf of Mexico mixed the drinks he prepared. American sailors, who did not miss a single bar, liked to visit this one, in Campeche. When asked what kind of instrument he had in his hands, the polite bartender answered in English: "Cocktail" - "rooster's tail". There is another story that connects the origin of the "cocktail" with the "rooster's tail". This story belongs to James Fenimore Cooper. According to him, the first cocktail was prepared in the 70s of the 18th century by Elizabeth Flanagan, a canker of the troops of General Washington. One day, she served the officers a drink of rum, rye whiskey, and fruit juices, adorning the glasses with feathers from the tails of fighting cocks. One of the officers, a Frenchman by birth, at the sight of such decoration of glasses, exclaimed: "Vive le cog's tail!" ("Long live the cock's tail!"). Everyone liked this half-French, half-English phrase, and the drink began to be called "cocktail" - cock's tail.

To date, there are many recipes for all kinds of cocktails. But there are some among them that are 100 percent present in any bar in the world, whether it's a French restaurant or an American eatery.

Another states that mojito is a modified mojadito (Spanish: Mojadito, abbreviated from mojado), which means "slightly moist".
Mojito traditionally consists of five ingredients: rum, sugar, lime, sparkling water and mint. Its combination of sweet and refreshing citrus with mint, which may have been added to the rum to "mask" the strength of the latter, made this cocktail one of the most popular summer drinks.

In 1938, he worked at the Rancho La Gloria bar in Tijuana, where the aspiring actress Margarita once dropped by.

This cocktail is believed to be of Cuban origin. It contains lime juice, rum and syrup. In the casino, such varieties of this cocktail as "Derby Daiquiri", "Peach Daiquiri", "Banana Daiquiri", etc., are in the greatest demand. Fruit pulp is added to them. The drink was invented in the town of Daiquiri at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1896, a certain Jennings Cox (American mining engineer), cursing the heat, mixed the above-mentioned rum with lime juice for himself and his friends, and not just mix, but pour these ingredients on ice cubes. This is how the Daiquiri (Daiquiri) cocktail turned out. And Ernest Hemingway promoted this invention in his novels, he was a big fan of this drink. And in 1893, during the celebration of Cuban independence, an American army officer toasted a free Cuba by mixing Bacardi rum, symbolizing the free spirit of Cuba, with Coca-Cola, America's new drink. The slogan of those days - "Long live free Cuba!" forever preserved in the name of the Cuba Libre cocktail.
The popularity of the daiquiri skyrocketed when F. Scott Fitzgerald mentioned it in his book 2 Beyond Paradise, published in 1920. In an episode that warns against drinking rum in moderation, a group of characters order double daiquiris each as a harbinger of the "intoxicating evening," which ends in hallucinations.

A cocktail is a delicious drink that is made by mixing several ingredients. Translated from English, this word means "tail of a rooster." It is no coincidence that this name suits this food product. The tail of the rooster is bright, colorful, alluring, like a cocktail.

Cocktails appeared in the world a very long time ago, historical facts testify to this..

Drinks mixed from different components were consumed in antiquity. They were prepared for emperors, kings and pharaohs, served to guests and simply eaten. To maintain morale and strength, cocktails were prepared for soldiers, military leaders and the army.

Such drinks were prepared from berries, fruits and vegetables. To quench thirst, snow or crushed ice was added to the fruit mixture. In ancient China, a drink made from ten different fruits was considered healing and had rejuvenating properties.

Counts, that for the first time an accurate description of this mixed drink printed in an American edition. It was 1806. Cocktails were defined as stimulating, invigorating drinks made from various alcoholic components, fruits, tinctures and sugar.

The origin of the word "cocktail" is associated with cockfighting in England. The British were very fond of drinking a mixture of different types of beer and bitters. This mixture was called cock beer. The British gave this drink to the roosters to raise morale before the competition.

In France, there is the province of Bordeaux, in which a mixture of several wines is called a cocktail. This drink was brought by French officers to North America. Later, a French pharmacist began to mix bitters, brandy, wine and sugar. Such drinks were served in glassware.

In Spain, there is an opinion that this name of the word comes from the Spanish language, in which it means "tail of a rooster". The Spaniards gave this comparison thanks to the root of the plant, with which the Spanish bartender mixed alcoholic drinks in dishes and treated them to residents and guests of his establishment. American sailors who went to bars on the Gulf of Mexico constantly ordered this wonderful drink.

Another origin of this word was the preparation of a drink from whiskey, rum, fruit and wheat in the 18th century. When the British military sat in one of the bars in France, the bartender prepared them a delicious mixed drink and garnished it with rooster feathers. The officer was delighted with such beauty, he exclaimed: "Let the cock's tail live!" In translation, the words are consonant.

After prohibition was introduced in the United States of America, many Americans began to visit Cuba to enjoy the wonderful Cuba Libre cocktail there.

Yes, making cocktails is not accidentally considered an art! But anyone who is ready to master this skill can become a master. And it’s better to start with making simple cocktails at home.

The simplest cocktails at home

By right, such cocktails include those that do not require the presence of any either too expensive or too exotic ingredients; for the preparation of which do not need any missing tools at home. Simple cocktails should be simple in every way!

And the easiest alcoholic ingredient to mix is, of course,. And about such simple cocktails at home. But there are a few more recipes.

A simple cocktail with vodka and fruit drink. You need fifty milliliters of vodka, twice as much cranberry juice, and ten milliliters of lemon juice. All ingredients are mixed directly in the glass. You can - but not necessarily - put a few ice cubes there.

Simple cocktail with coffee. I came across the recipe for this cocktail called “Death of a Trucker” - obviously, for its so pronounced stimulating effect, which allows you to quickly recover after a long and exhausting driving, even with great fatigue. True, it is not clear how this name is combined with the requirement for the amount of alcohol in the blood of road users? Anyway.

Of course, you can not use such a drink in the presence of any problems with pressure, heart, blood vessels. Moreover, do not abuse it often. So, we take fifty milliliters of vodka, one hundred milliliters of Coca-Cola and fifty - strong black coffee (previously brewed and chilled). Mix in a glass or cup.

Simple cocktails at home with juices

With ice cream. Again - fifty milliliters of vodka, one hundred - pineapple juice, ten milliliters of low-fat cream or full-fat milk and ten grams of vanilla or cream ice cream. We beat everything in a shaker or literally half a minute - in a blender. You can sprinkle the foam with grated chocolate or decorate the cocktail with a piece of pineapple.

With sea. It is easy to prepare a simple cocktail at home, which will contain ingredients such as vodka, pineapple juice, cranberry juice - fifty milliliters each, ten milliliters of cream. Everything is shaken with ice and poured into a glass. The cocktail is very soft and perfect for ladies.

Cinnamon. Here, cognac is used instead of vodka (although in the absence of cognac, vodka can also be taken). Pour an alcoholic drink into an ice-filled glass, pour a pinch of ground cinnamon, pour a tablespoon of apple juice on top and cherry syrup in a teaspoon (you can also take regular jam, even tastier than purchased syrup with artificial flavors). Mix with a cocktail tube.

We offer another simple vodka-based cocktail for making at home - this time and with grapefruit juice and tonic. All ingredients - fifty milliliters each are poured into a glass with ice in a certain sequence - first vodka, then juice and, finally, tonic. a thin piece of lemon is placed on top - either a slice or a circle, depending on the size of the citrus.

Simple cocktails at home with wine

Vodka, of course, is a common product and is available in almost every home - if not for drinking, then at least for treatment. But no less beloved by our citizens is wine, which at home can also become an excellent basis for a simple cocktail.

The simplest cocktail, at home, which is prepared instantly, even if the guests fell like snow on their heads - This is wine with fanta. Better if orange fanta. We take one hundred milliliters of each component and mix directly in a glass. Although the cocktail is more than simple, its action is quite pronounced - it intoxicates imperceptibly, but unexpectedly strong.

And the most popular cocktail with wine is, of course, mulled wine, but to be completely honest, due to the large number of ingredients, it can hardly be called simple. A cocktail at home should, in theory, require less effort. But still, we will give the easiest option for making mulled wine. We heat a bottle of dry red wine in a saucepan (you can semi-dry). We prepare the mulled wine mixture in advance: one hundred grams of granulated sugar, thirty - ground cinnamon, twenty grams of cloves, the zest of one lemon. When the wine warms up, throw the mixture into a saucepan and keep it on fire again, without bringing to a boil. Then we place the orange sliced ​​\u200b\u200brings there. The preparation of a cocktail can be further simplified if you buy a ready-made mixture for mulled wine.

A simple cocktail at home with champagne

And in conclusion - a recipe for a simple champagne cocktail. This drink also cannot be called a very rare guest on our festive table. And the cocktail is very simple and ideal for making at home. Judge for yourself: for thirty milliliters of orange or peach juice poured into a glass, add seventy milliliters of necessarily pre-chilled champagne. And that's it.

Non-alcoholic simple cocktails at home

Just in case, let's imagine situations in advance when someone is at our table who cannot taste our alcoholic cocktail. In this case, it is useful to have a few recipes for simple cocktails in stock, which can also be quickly prepared at home. Well, for example:

A simple orange cocktail. Squeeze juice from one orange, pour this freshly squeezed juice into a glass, add another tablespoon of lemon juice and two tablespoons of orange non-alcoholic syrup. Stir, stir in a glass of a few pieces of ice and top up with any soda. A glass with this simple cocktail at home can be decorated with slices of lemon and orange - either of your choice, or by placing them side by side on the edge of the vessel.

Simple cocktail with honey. together with ice, mix one fresh egg (you can replace one chicken with three quail eggs), three hundred milliliters of chilled milk and three hundred milliliters of juice (or orange, or - more for an amateur - lemon) and one hundred grams of honey. Pour into glasses. As a decoration, it is easiest to again use rings or ribbons from citrus peel.
