A cocktail is a style of mixed drink made predominantly with a distilled beverage, such as vodka, gin, whiskey, rum, or tequila, mixed with another drink other than water. Cocktails usually contain one or more types of liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream, spices, or other flavorings.

Cocktails may vary in their ingredients from bartender to bartender, and from region to region. Two creations may have the same name but taste very different because of differences in how the drinks are prepared.
Cocktails marked with "IBA" are designated as "IBA Official Cocktails" by the International Bartender Association, and are some of the most popular cocktails worldwide.

Cocktails were originally a morning beverage, and the cocktail was the name given as metaphor for the rooster (cocktail) heralding morning light of day.
