ORIGIN OF THE COCKTAIL
Mexican Legend Says 1t was Discover
ed by q TOlter Noble.

Mexican Legend Says 1t was Discover.
ed by a Toltec Noble.
The origin of the American Cock
tail' is admittedly obscure, and many
attempts have been made to trace it,
says American Epicure An ingenious
but unconvincing explanation that has
gone the rounds Of the press gives 1t
medical significance. The old doctors,
they say, had a practice OF treating
certain diseases of the throat with a
pleasant liquor applied with the tip
end OF a long feather plucked from a
cocks tail. They presently began to
use this preparation as a gargle, and
the name cocktail clung to it. The gar
gle gave way to an appetizer-to O
mixture Of bitters, vermouth and liq.
uor that Is still in occasional demand
For my own part I infinitely prefer the
story Of the Mexican beauty. Accord
ing to this legend the original cocktail
was made from pulque, an alcoholic
beverage distilled from the juice Of the
maguey, or agave. The liquor, so tbs
said, was discovered by Toltec noble,
who sent some of 1t to the king by the
hand of his daughter. The monarch
drank the pulque and looked at the
maiden. Whether the lady's looks gave
pleasanter flavor to the liquor or
whether the taste OF the liquor made
the lady seem fairer is not certain, but
the king, at any rate, fell in love with
both, started pulque plantation and
married the girl, whose name, Xochitl
thus became associated with the ma
tional intoxicant. The rest is easy
When General Scott's troops came to
Mexico they drank the liquor, liked IT,
and, with the easy adaptability of the
Saxon, simplified its Aztec name to
Cocktail" which they carried back
with them to the states.
