Etymology
There are several pausible theories as to the origin of the term "cocktail". Among them are:
* Some say that it was customary to put a feather (presumably from a cock's tail) in the drink to serve both as decoration and to signal to teetotalers that the drink contained alcohol.
* Another etymology is that the term is a corruption of coquetier, a French egg-cup which was used to serve the beverage in New Orleans in the early 19th century.
