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

Red Lotus Recipe
Nestle halved marchino cherry inside the lychee fruit (canned works best). Place in the bottom of a margarita glass. (Note: the fruit will sit nicely in the divot found at the bottom of most modern margarita glasses, aiding presentation.) Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into the margarita glass--DO NOT STRAIN. Garnish with a lemon twist.
