Cocktail
Cocktails usually consist of two or more ingredients, with one ingredient being a spirit. The cocktail was originally invented in America in the 19th century. Back then, bartenders had the problem that guests were getting drunk too quickly from the high-proof spirits. They therefore began to dilute the spirits with fruit juices or lemonade. This quickly proved popular and the first cocktails were created.
