World Cocktail day is the perfect occasion to celebrate drinking with passion and responsibility, along with all your friends and family, just like we want to. Two centuries have passed since the word cocktail was first uttered on May 13, 1806. The origins of these wonderful drinks that we now call “cocktails” are controversial, with various theories competing for its authenticity. The most widespread version attributes the invention to the first American "bartender," Jerry Thomas, who created "something special" for its customers, by inventing a beverage made up of ⅓ vermouth and 2/3 of gin. Subsequently, a few New York tabloids such as "The Balance" were the first to publish the definition of "cocktail".

The etymology of the word "cocktail" is full of uncertainty. Some believe it is derived from "cocktail," the name of a colorful 15th-century English drink. Instead, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the world's original usage was associated with the equine realm, where "cocktail" referred to a horse with a docked tail, similar to a dog's tail, thus connoting a mixed breed rather than a purebred. This meaning of "cocktail" may well end up meaning something mixed, especially in the realm of alcoholic beverages.

Whatever the real story is, we know cocktails are a great way to experience joy and celebrate life, and they also offer an opportunity to discover new flavors and high quality products, just like the wine we suggested. What else can we say if not enjoy the next World Cocktail Day.
