Cocktail



The term cocktail is used to refer to a mixture of different drinks with one of the drinks being alcoholic. It is important to highlight that a standard cocktail must contain a spirit, a sugary drink, and a sour or bitter drink. It is worth noting that cocktails can include juices, honey, fruits, herbs, and soda among others.


Mocktail



A mocktail is a combination of several drinks with no alcohol added to the blend. The only difference between a mocktail and a cocktail is that no alcohol or spirit drink is added while making the product. For example, a combination of fruit juice and soda constitutes a mocktail because none of the two products is alcoholic.

Alcoholic Content in Cocktail and Mocktails

One of the primary differences between a cocktail and a mocktail is that a cocktail has significant alcohol content while a mocktail does not have alcohol content. This is because the cocktail is prepared by combining several beverages with one of the drinks being alcoholic. Moreover, the standard cocktail must contain alcohol or a spirit and other sweet-tasting beverages. On the other hand, a mocktail does not have alcohol pigments because it is prepared by mixing several drinks while exempting both spirits and alcoholic beverages.


Standard Preparation of Cocktail and Mocktail

The second difference between a mocktail and a cocktail is a conventional method is required to make cocktails. Preparing mocktails involves a simple procedure of mixing different fruit juices with sugar syrups, which can easily be done at home. However, the preparation of cocktails is more standard because it requires the mixing of fruit juices with spirits and alcoholic drinks in the right proportion. 



Consumer Preference for Cocktail and Mocktail

Consumption of both mocktails and cocktails varies significantly among different people around the world. The aspect of alcoholism and none alcoholism provides the point at which people either take cocktails or mocktails. Alcoholic consumers prefer to take cocktails so that they can quench their strong thirst while those people who do not take alcohol prefer to take mocktails. This explains why cocktails are stocked at beer joints while only a few mocktail brands are stocked in such areas because the numbers of people who do not take alcohol are less likely to visit such premises.


Taste of Cocktail and Mocktail

The tastes between mocktails and cocktails significantly vary from one another. Cocktails have a bitter or sour taste while mocktails have a sweet taste. Cocktails exhibit a sour or bitter taste because they contain alcohol content of a significant proportion while mocktails exhibit a sweet taste because they are prepared by mixing fruit juices and sugar syrup. Nevertheless, it is critical to note that some mocktails may display some sour or bitter taste after undergoing fermentation, especially after staying for a longer period before consumption. Nevertheless, the sour or bitter taste cannot match the one exhibited by cocktails.


Purchase Price of Cocktail and Mocktail

Mocktails and cocktails have different prevailing prices around the world. Cocktails are much more costly while mocktails sell at moderate prices, which are affordable by many people. One of the main aspects, which, makes cocktails to be expensive, is that they contain both alcohol and spirits which are known to be costly in any part of the world, primarily depending on the method of distillation and the company producing and selling them. On the other hand, mocktails are affordable because it is easier to prepare them and the fruits are readily available in most parts of the world.


Government Regulation for Cocktail and Mocktail

Due to alcoholic content, governments governing countries around the world have instituted strict regulations on the consumption of cocktails among their citizens. Government rules and regulations have highlighted the minimum age under which an individual is allowed to consume a cocktail due to its alcoholic content while there is no age limit for people willing to drink mocktails. Many countries have listed that only a citizen above 18 years and 21 years in other countries can purchase cocktails and any retailer or distributor selling alcoholic drinks to persons below the required age faces severe consequences including canceling their business permits. On the other hand, mocktail is allowed to trade after food and poison bodies give the green light for their consumption and mass production.

History of cocktail.

ORIGIN STORY The history of the cocktail is filled with many interesting and amusing stories, as well as some conspicuous theories and colorful legends. Though the origin of mixed drinks can be traced back to the 17th century, it wasn’t clear where who, and how the “original” cocktail was created. As cocktails made their way into becoming a social badge of honor during the Shakespearean times, developments in the mood-altering effects of booze turned mixed drinks and bartending into big news. These alcoholic beverages made using spirits blended with other ingredients have been around since the 1800s, and there have been many changes to them since then.

A New Orleans apothecary (and inventor of Peychaud bitters), Antoine Amédée Peychaud, served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century. The Dregs Theory (Cock tailings) “Cock tailings” was a term used to describe the mixture that was created when tavern owners combined the dregs (tailings) of nearly empty barrels. The resulting mixture from several barrels would then be sold at a discounted price. This only makes sense when you know that the spigot (tap) of a barrel was sometimes referred to as a “cock.” The Docked Horse Theory (Cock T...
