It was perhaps the drink of choice of French officers, served most often in close proximity to rebel colonists during the American Revolutionary War, which soon led to the creation of the southern states of the United States. However, no one can dispute the fact that cocktails began their true ascent to the Olympus of glory in the 20s of the last century in America, when they became the favorite, but illegal alcoholic drink of hundreds of thousands of alcohol lovers, opposing the cruel and unforgiving “dry law." An unconditional ban on the "manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages" kept the American population under strict control from 1919, that is, from the moment the XVIII Amendment to the US Constitution became law over the veto of President Woodrow Wilson, until 1933, when In the United States of America, drinking alcoholic beverages has become legal again.
One way or another, the basis of any of our cocktails is some strong unusual drink. It can be assumed that the first cocktails were prepared using gin, which at that time had a strong sweetish taste, which was preferable to be hidden in a mixture with other drinks. And the first cocktail recipes that have survived to this day date back to the second half of the 19th century, for example, Martini, Daiquiri and Manhattan. Cocktails received their real development in the 1920-1930s, when many classic cocktails were invented, which today are very popular in bars around the world. At that time, Bloody Mary and Side Car appeared in Paris, and Americano and Negroni in Italy. The cocktails were called American Drinks because they were prepared for Americans who were looking abroad for sensations that were prohibited in their own country. During Prohibition in the United States, drinks were also secretly mixed in an attempt to hide the taste of alcohol. Today, cocktail fashion is back with renewed vigor, fueled by the emergence of new liqueurs, unusual flavors and exotic fruits, as well as the special atmosphere inherent in turbulent times and mixed drinks. Harry's New York Bar in Paris claims that many classic cocktails were created here in the first half of the last century. However, not everyone agrees with this, believing that the bar has put its name on some other people's creations. One thing is certain: the White cocktail Lady was clearly invented by Harry McElon, who initially worked here as a bartender, and later became the owner of the establishment. A whole network of Harry's bars was opened in different cities around the world. But of these, only Harry's Bar in Venice gave birth to lasting creations, for example, the Bellini cocktail.
