A cocktail is a mixed drink containing one or more distilled spirits, such as brandy, cognac, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, or sometimes other spirits. Usually one or more non-alcoholic mixers or a fermented alcohols, such as beer or wine, are mixed with the distilled spirits. The entire mixture is usually served in a glass, often along with a garnish. Some cocktails are served in shot glasses, and are referred to as shooters. Some are served flaming, which creates a pleasant effect. Non-alcoholic versions of many popular cocktails are also available. Classic or vintage cocktails are making a strong comeback in many larger cities such as London, New York and Los Angeles.
