COCKTAILS OF THE 1800-1850
RISE OF THE BARTENDER
This new society of people simply did not have the time
to sit around a bowl and drain it until it was done. The
time for punch was over. Enter the individualistic and
idiosyncratic beast that became known as the Cocktail.

“There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkably
pleasant;
A yellow, a mellow Martini;
I wish I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth -
I think that perhaps it’s the gin. “

“There continues to be controversy over who originally came up with
the Mai Tai. It has never bothered me that Vic Bergeron took credit,
and I have never held a grudge. The plain fact is, there can be no
truer form of flattery than when other people claim credit for your
concepts and ideas and use them for their own benefit.”
