Origin of Cocktail Story From The Living Age
An article traces the term cocktail to a mix of legends and folk etymology. A tale links the name to quarter horse slang and a Washington era landlady who served a stirring drink to riders with a quip about being as sassy as a cocktail. Etiology notes first recorded circa 1800 and cites Washington Irving.
