one of my favorite quotes.

“Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head.” 

 --May 13^th, 1806 edition of the Federalist newspaper The Balance, and Columbian Repository of Hudson, New York.

This is the first known definition of "cocktail."

If you'd like to get fuddled tonight, 1/2 off bottles of wine at Farm 255, just like every Wednesday.  Laura is behind the bar, being awesome as usual.  Come out and put her to work for you.
