When we hear the word ‘refreshments’, it is immediately understood that it is a food dish or a consumable drink meant to refresh our senses or help us relax after busy days. One such drink invented centuries ago was the ‘cocktail’.

The origin period of the ‘cocktail’ is still a heavily debated topic, however, the first documented mention of the beverage appeared in “The Farmers Cabinet” in 1803. The ingredients which comprise a cocktail can vary as it is usually a wide array of selections available. They may vary from spirits, water, bitters, sugar, tomato juice etc., However, the common ingredient is always different types of alcohol. With the evolution of many cocktail recipes, the term “cocktail party” was first coined in the year 1917.

Another debated theory suggests that an American barman had a large container in the shape of a cockerel into which he poured leftover drinks. This concoction was eventually termed a ‘cocktail’. Another theory suggests that a Frenchman living in America saw a lot of bottles decorated with cockerel tails that he gave the toast of “Vive Le Cocktail” before drinking it.

Cocktails Vs. Mocktails
A mocktail, however, can be described as a smooth blend of many non-alcoholic drinks. Its ingredients can range from fruit juices, creams, spices, herbs etc., The mocktail was originally created to be enjoyed at festive occasions and parties. However, nowadays they have become so popular that you will find them in almost all hotels, restaurants, pubs and nightclubs all over the world.

The mocktail was specifically crafted for people who do not wish to drink alcohol. It is intended for designated drivers or people who casually want to have a refreshing drink over lunch or dinner. Creating mocktails is taught in official mixology or bartending academies. For example, the combination of fruit juice and soda constitutes a mocktail because there is no inclusion of alcohol.
