Champagne Cocktails
Champagne cocktails came into vogue in the mid 1850’s and were the drink of choice of the rich and famous throughout America. Originally used in famed punches, the Champagne cocktail was the first step in evolving cocktails in terms of varying the base.

Punches
For 200 years from the mid 1600’s ‘the punch’
ruled the category of mixed drinks in America.
The bowl of punch was a ritual and a matter of pride. Spirits, sugar, citrus, water and spices were made into delicate potions and served with a ladle carefully covering the distilled spirits of the time. As the
times changed so did the concept of the ‘punch’
and eventually it was transformed into a shaken
drink serving one.

the ‘Professor’ Jerry Thomas. Definitely a cocktail

Cocktails, Fancy Drinks, & Crustas
The first documented evidence of the word ‘cocktail’ appeared in May 1806 in the Balance and Columbian Repository written by editor Harry Croswell.
Croswell described the cocktail as the following:
“Cock tail, then is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters – it is vulgarly called bittered sling, and is supposed to
be an excellent electioneering potion, in as much
as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time as it fuddles the head. It is said also, to be
of great use for a democratic candidate: because a person having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else.”
This section is homage to the evolution of
the cocktail.
