A Cocktail is an alcoholic mixed-drink; most commonly, either a combination of alcoholic drinks, or an alcoholic drink mixed with other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream. Cocktails vary widely across regions of the world, and many websites publish both original recipes and their own interpretations of older and more famous cocktails.
