We’ve got a bunch of historians and dedicated-drinkers theorising that it was inspired by racehorse tails and even old Aztec princess’. Ahead of Cocktail Day (May 13th), we decided to walk back in time and look back at some of these wacky-ily interesting theories. Many seem to agree that the first-ever cocktail was invented by apothecary Antoine Peychaud. Mixing up brandy, absinthe, bitters, and sugar – the famed Sazerac cocktail was Peychaud’s brainchild.
