The first year that the definition of "cocktail" appeared in print was 1806. That official definition read: "Cocktail is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters."
Two centuries later, tastes have shifted from syrupy sweet cocktails to cocktails that represent a more balanced mixture of four different ingredient types: spirit, sweet, sour, bitter.
In celebration of the long-lived history of the cocktail, the New Orleans-based Museum of the American Cocktail hosts a World Cocktail Week celebration, culminating on World Cocktail Day...which, for 2010, is today.
Here's a list of 10 classic American cocktails to ponder. Which ones have you imbibed, and which ones do you need to add to your Cocktail Bucket List?
10 CLASSIC COCKTAILS:
As DC falls deeper and deeper in throes of presidential racing, it was only a matter of time before alcohol got involved (because, what else is going to get you through?).
Lotus Lounge (1420 K Street, NW, smack in the middle of K street corridor) has figured out how to determine everyone's favorite candidate through the - "Pick the POTUS at Lotus" competition.
Now after a long day of work speading good and evil across this city, you too can come to Lotus Lounge and order a drink named after your favorite Republican or Democratic presidential candidate.
But it wouldn't be DC if there wasn't a competitive element involved in it:
A computerized tally will be kept of how many drinks were ordered for each candidate and a Republican and Democratic winner will be announced right before the Iowa Caucus.
The PR package received asures us that each of the 17 drinks represents some aspect of the candidate's personality or background.
Are your ready for this?
Barack Obama's drink has Malibu and tropical fruit juice mixers, since he lived in Hawaii during his childhood,
Rudy Giliuani's drink is an Apple Martini because he was mayor of "The Big Apple;"
Hillary Clinton's drink is a Cosmopolitan since it's pink and feminine, yet strong;
Chris Dodd's drink includes half and half to represent his much talked about white hair,
Mitt Romney's drink is non-alcoholic, since he does not consume alcohol (although, there is an option to add a shot of vodka). (For a complete list of drinks, please scroll below)
The "Pick the POTUS at Lotus" competition will continue with the actual Republican and Democratic candidates' drinks through November 2008.
The winner will be announced right before Election Day.
Something tells us this is a drinking game just waiting to happen.

David Ruiz of Mr. Smith's makes jams and preserves just for cocktails. I wrote about it with a quick note about jam in cocktails historically, and in which bar you can find a mezcal drink with strawberry-raspberry-jabanero jam. Yumz.
