The Museum of the American Cocktail is currently working on setting up exhibits in New Orleans and New York.
As those exhibits take shape, we will be adding content here to allow you to get a feeling for the information and experiences that you will encounter at those locations.

Origins of the Cocktail
The earliest known definition for the "cock-tail" comes by way of a response to a rather innocent "Letter to the Editor" from May 13th, 1806. Click on the image below to see how this exchange appeared in "The Balance and Columbian Repository"
Albert Pick Saloon Catalog
Albert Pick was once a well known supplier of restaurant and bar equipment. We have a copy of their catalog from 1918 as part of our exhibit and have extracted a few choice images which we thought you might enjoy.
