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!"
A story, but a great one indeed

Vodka
Vodka is an European clear distilled alcoholic drink that has been one of the most popular drinks across the world .
You'll find it to be the most popular spirit in drink making because of it's neutral taste and absence of flavour and colour.
Vodka often replaces Gin in many traditional cocktails
Vodka is known to be good for the heart, and if consumed in moderation, can prove to be good for cardiovascular health
Note that these days there are flavoured Vodka available in the market too, and some cocktails do make use of them.V 8 Picante Juice
V8 vegetable juice is a line of beverage that are made from eight vegetables, or a mixture of vegetables and fruits. The original V8 juice was Tomato based and got it’s name as expected. From eight different vegetables.
The eight vegetables were and are specifically, beet, carrots, lettuce, celery, parsley, watercress, spinach and tomato where tomato constitutes around 87% of the total beverage.
Campbell Soup Company, the owner of the brand has since then launched several variants such as Original, Spicy Hot, Hint of Black Pepper, Lemon, Picante ( Spanish for Spicy ), Low-Sodium and Organic, and a range of diet version that excludes the high fructose corn syrup.Clamato Juice
the name Clamato is a portmanteau of clam and tomato. Clamato is made of tomato juice concentrate and sugar and is flavoured with spices, dried clam broth, monosodium glutamate ( MSG ). IT is made by Mott's.
It tastes like a blend of tomato juice, Worcestershire Sauce and mashed clam.Worcestershire Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce is a fermented liquid condiment created by the British chemists John Wheeley Lea and Henry Perrins, in the city of Worcester in Worchestershire, England, in the first half of the 19th Century.
Fermented fish sauce has ben in use in Greco-Roman cuisine, fermented anchovy sauce can be traced back to the 17th Century Europe too. However this particular concoction is tentatively attributed by the original label of the company's product as a sauce that came "from the recipe of a nobleman in the county", the company also claimed that Lord Marcus Sandys, ex-Governor of Bengal, encountered it while in India with the East India Company in the 1830s, and he commissioned a local apothecary to recreate it. The original recipe includes vinger, molasses, sugar. salt, anchovies, tamarind, shallots/onions, garlic, other spices and flavourings, and quite resemble an Indian fish curry or fish sauce recipe indeed.
In food and in cocktail, this sauce provides for a background flavour and is a source of umami, the fifth flavour or the flavour of savouriness. The spicy richness is what makes Bloody Mary, Caesar and Bull Shot cocktails the spicy, salty and overall savoury flavour.

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
