I had no idea it was World Cocktail day. I had intentions of meeting up with some out of town friends for drinks. Maybe I'll have to sub the glass or two of wine I was thinking of for a cocktail, but probably not an Old Fashioned. That said, I didn't realize until this video that the term "cock tail" goes back to early 1800s and the predecessor to the Old Fashioned could be found at least as far back as this 1862 recipe. #history #FoodHistory #cocktail #alcohol #WorldCocktailDay
