Where does the word cocktail come from? Where did the word come from? As with the first instance of the term, the word itself can be left for debate too..but there are three popular theories that we’ve summarised for you: The Egg-Cup Theory (Coquetier) According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the origin of the cocktail is down to a mispronunciation of the French word for eggcup coquetier (pronounced in English as a cocktail). A New Orleans apothecary (and inventor of Peychaud bitters), Antoine Amédée Peychaud, served brandy with his bitters in eggcups in the late 18th century.
