Are Classic Cocktails Making A Comeback In The United States? {Gadling}

Aug 5th 2012 10:16AM "But, the technical definition of a cocktail is first found in 1806 in a New York paper and it states that a cocktail is made of spirituous liquor of any kind, sugar, water and bitters. We exported that to the entire world and, in that way, a cocktail is as American as baseball or apple pie."

Ridiculous....Americans and their arrogance....
