What is a cocktail?

In international and domestic social activities, people often welcome guests with cocktails. There are different opinions about the origin of cocktails. One legend is that during the American Revolution, Betsy Flanagan, a waitress in a small hotel in new york, provided drinks for many officers and found that there were not many kinds of drinks. She used her quick wits to pour the rest of the wine together and pulled out a chicken tail hair to stir it. After drinking, the officers cheered again and again and asked what kind of wine it was. She easily replied, "cocktail." Since then, this wine has become popular all over the world. Another legend is that in the18th century, the daughter of an American country hotel owner fell ill because she lost a beloved rooster. The boss was so anxious that he announced to the villagers that if anyone found a rooster, he could marry his daughter. Later, a young man found it. On their wedding day, the boss's daughter mixed all kinds of good wine and invited everyone to drink. Since then, people have called several mixed wines cocktails.
