Drinking has become an integral part of our culture. There are various decorative accessories that make drinking more pleasant. We are accustomed to modern drink accessories, but actually hardly anyone would notice the traces of their origin in history. Drink accessories can be regarded as a tribute to fashion.

Cocktail is the most widely used mixed drink. Historically, it is considered that cocktails were invented about 200 years ago by the Spanish and Portuguese who got to America. They taught their new fellow countrymen a new entertainment - cock fights, which soon became very popular in America. Whenever the competitions were finished, convivial festivals were arranged where the participants mixed all kinds of drinks that were at hand. For mixed drinks the ingredients of different colors and weight were used, and all these liquids poured in one glass created many-colored layers, resembling an ornament of a cock's tail. A real help in preparing cocktails is a shaker.
