May I ask the origin of cocktails and what are the famous cocktails and modulation methods?

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 he could marry his daughter if anyone found a rooster. 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.

Cocktail is a drink made of two or more kinds of wine or wine mixed juice. Specifically, he said, cocktails are mixed drinks made up of basic ingredients (spirits), additives (liqueurs and other auxiliary materials), spices, colorants and special seasoning products in a certain amount. Webster's dictionary in the United States indicates that cocktails are a small amount of ice wine. It takes rum, whisky or other spirits and wine as the main raw materials, supplemented by other auxiliary materials, such as juice, egg white, bitterant and sugar. , made by stirring or shaking, and finally decorated with lemon slices or mint leaves. Finally, I quote Esbury, an American cocktail authority, to make a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the word cocktail: cocktail should be a tonic to stimulate appetite and must not run counter to it. According to the definition, Qing makes wine very sweet or blends it with a lot of juice, so don't stay away from the category of cocktails; Cocktails can not only stimulate appetite, but also inspire people and create a warm atmosphere. Otherwise, it is meaningless. Carefully prepared cocktails are the most beautiful drinks, and cocktails must have an excellent taste. Therefore, the taste buds of the tongue should be fully opened to taste the stimulating taste. If it is too sweet, too bitter and too fragrant, it will cover up the tasting ability and reduce the quality of wine; Cocktails (cocktails) need adequate cooling, so it is most inappropriate to use a goblet to scald wine. Ice should be added when preparing, and the amount of ice should be strictly controlled according to the formula. The ice cubes should melt to the required extent.

Cocktails pay great attention to color, fragrance and taste; Because of its combination of shape and shape, it is also called artistic wine. The original cocktail market was dominated by spicy drinks exclusively for men. Later, with the widespread drinking of cocktails, they entered various social occasions, and sweet drinks suitable for women's tastes were derived to satisfy those who could not stand alcohol. During the prohibition period in America (1920 65438+1October 17 to1933 65438+February 5), the technology of making non-alcoholic mixed drinks advanced by leaps and bounds, thus laying the foundation for today's soft drinks. At that time, soft drinks were called mocks or soft drinks. It uses cocktails to make non-alcoholic drinks.

The history of cocktails is only over a century, and it has been popular in countries all over the world for only a few decades. People's attitudes towards cocktails have always been mixed. Some people think that mixing cocktails is a kind of "wine blindness" behavior, which wastes extremely precious cognac, whisky and wine, and the color, aroma and taste carefully brewed for many years are destroyed in an instant. They are against drinking mixed wine. Some people think it's great to drink cocktails. It created a new color of wine. In the field of fragrance and taste, there is also an artistic conception that can only be expressed but not expressed. Drinking cocktails is an artistic enjoyment. Practice has proved that cocktails have won people's praise for their unique charm, and various formulas have emerged one after another, becoming an indispensable functional drink at banquets. The worldwide spread of cocktails can be traced back to the United States many years ago 10O, when the ice-making industry in the United States was moving towards industrialization, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for the rapid development of cocktails, making the United States the most popular country at that time, and the bartenders there were also the most superb and wonderful; Later, the prohibition of alcohol in the United States led to the outflow of bartenders: in France or Britain, heroes appeared, which also contributed to the arrival of the golden age of cocktails in Europe and even the world.
