There is a lack of clarity on the origins of cocktails. mostly everyone agrees that it is either the leftovers of a beer cask mixed together - with added bitters, sugar and water, sold as a lower priced mixed beverage of questionable integrity.
Or something about a horse with a docked tail that signaled a less than a thoroughbred.
According to the WIKI the first "cocktail party" ever thrown was allegedly by Mrs. Julius S. Walsh Jr. of St. Louis, Missouri, in May 1917. Mrs. Walsh invited 50 guests to her home at noon on a Sunday.

Photography grounds me and elates me. I am inspired by nature and its perfection. I see things that compel me to take a photograph, things that are ordinary, or small and go unseen by others. This is my purpose as a visual story teller. See my work in the Beach Paper and the Cape Gazette, or visit my website denyhoweth.com.
