Simply so, how are cocktails named?
As the term cocktail broadened to subsume other styles of mixed drinks, some names were formed simply by combining a spirit and a style, such as the Gin Fizz or the Whiskey Sour. However, variations on those styles inspired new names, which were inevitably less literal and more creative.
One may also ask, who invented the cocktail? The Americans were supposedly the ones who did that. The drink catechism has long held that cocktails as we know them were created by “Professor” Jerry Thomas, a pioneering and flamboyant American bartender who published the first bar manual in 1862.
