The Cocktail
There is much speculation as to the invention of the traditional mixed drink. Some say the origins are in England yet others point to America. Nevertheless, most historians agree that to be called a cocktail there is a mixture of ingredients that need to be present. These ingredients are sugar, water, bitters, other flavoring ingredients and alcohol.
During Prohibition alcoholic beverages were illegal. The good news was that you were still able to consume cocktails only illegally in places called speakeasies. With time cocktails began to slowly lose their popularity, until the 2000s when a cultural renaissance of the cocktail began forming called mixology.
