| | Cocktail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A cocktail usually contains one or more types of liquor and flavorings, usually one or more of a liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, etc. The cocktail became popular during Prohibition in the United States primarily to mask the taste of bootlegged alcohol. |
 | | Many cocktails traditionally made with gin, such as the gimlet, or the martini, may now be served by default with vodka. |
 | | Cocktails were originally a morning beverage, and the cocktail was the name given as metaphor for the rooster (cocktail) heralding morning light of day. |
