"由水、糖、烈酒和苦味调制而成的饮料"首次出现于1798年,但是对于起名的原因以及是否有意象,即使对当时的人来说也是不明确的。
Ayto(《餐厅词典》)认为它源自 cocktail "尾巴被剪短的马"(这个意义的词在1796年已经存在),因为这个词被扩展为"杂种血统的马"(不是纯种马),据推测,这个词被扩展到饮料上是基于"掺假,混合"的概念。1798年的参考资料给出了这种饮料的另一个名字"姜汁",这似乎将其与 feaguing 的概念联系起来(参见gin (v.1))。David Wondrich(《饮用!更新和修订版》)支持这种词源学的推导,将这种饮料称为"让你的尾巴竖起来的东西"。feagued 马的概念在隐喻上用于使人活跃或振奋精神; 早期关于鸡尾酒的引用确实将其归功于药用特性,包括刺激性。
还可能受到方言中 cock 的影响,意思是一种饮料,或者喝。

等等,紧紧地坐着

走出去在厚厚的水沟里撒尿,

看着胆大的哈钦喝醉了。
那一天的彩虹。
[艾伦·拉姆齐, Christ's-Kirk on the Green, Canto III, 1720年。]
