The word cocktail was first coined on 13 May 1806 – which is why we celebrate world cocktail day on that specific day – when a New York tabloid defined the word cocktail as “a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters”.
ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters continues to be the essential ingredient in some of the world’s most famous and best-loved cocktails.
