What is the story of Betsy's Braces and the origin of the word Cocktail?
MOREIt is a popular rumour that a barmaid named Betsy, served a mixed drink in her tavern, during the Revolutionary War. The drink she made was called Betsy's Braces and it is said to have been popular with American and French soldiers. According to this legend Betsy’s tavern was located near Hall's Corners in New York.
It is rumoured that the French soldiers coined the term cocktail that follows an anecdotal incident.
There is a story say that American soldiers stole male pheasants from their British counterparts and celebrated this at the Tavern. It is said at the time of the toast one of the American soldiers proclaimed "Here's to divine liquor which tastes as delicious to the palate as the cock's tails are beautiful to the eye." This was followed by the French reply "Vive le cocktail!"

Maui Blue Hawaiian Schnapps
To understand Maui Blue Hawaiian Schnapps one needs to understand two legendary cocktails, firstly, the Blue Hawaii cocktail created by legendary bartender Harry Yee of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, a tropical cocktail made of Rum, Pineapple juice, Blue Curacao, Sweet and Sour mix and optionally, Vodka and secondly, Blue Hawaiian, a riff of Blue Hawaii, probably created by Don the Beachcomber in LA, USA. The differnce between Blue Hawaii and Blue Hawaiian is that the later uses cream of coconut in place of sweet and sour mix. ( source Difford's Guide )
The Maui Blue Hawaiian Schnapps is a tropical fruit liquor. It's bright and blue, a fun tropical drink. and is made with coconut and pineapple flavors with a hint of orange which is a great mixer for a tropical cocktail, and is similar in style to the Blue Hawaii and Blue Hawaiian cocktails.Absolut Citron Vodka 1 Liter
Absolut Citron Vodka is one of the main flavour variants of Absolut Vodka. Citron means lemon in Swedish, Absolut Citron is crafted from Swedish Winter wheat and water from a deep well in Ahus, the vodka is flavoured with citrus fruits.
It is a 40% ABV Vodka made from natural ingredients and no sugar is added to the pure Vodka during the flavour infusion, the taste is thus smooth and mellow, with a fresh lemon and lime flavour with a lemon peel note.Faygo Twist Soda 4 Liter
