“The first definition of cocktail known to be an alcoholic beverage appeared in The Balance and Columbian Repository (Hudson, New York) May 13, 1806; editor Harry Croswell answered the question, “What is a cocktail?”: Cock-tail is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called bitterer sling, and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, in as much as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else.

AUTUMN MENU

Summer's halfway gone, and before you know it, we'll have blinked and missed the leaves turning. So let's slow down and plan our autumn-time drinking. A cocktail for fall ought to be richly coloured and robust, so you can forget that cold weather looms just around the corner. Here, we have the classics, like an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan, and some riffs: a rum cocktail with a Figs boost to combat the gloomiest of November days; and a variation on the Old Fashioned that borrows the unofficial liquor of summer, tequila. Oh, and plenty of whiskey. These fall cocktails will keep you going until the snow starts to float down from the sky and we're ordering something more winter appropriate cocktails. You can even leave out the alcohol and just make a bright, low-calorie drink.
