And later, folks siply replaced the plain old ginger or pepper component of drinkable “cocktails” with bitters. And later moving forward “cocktail” saw many variations of the shaken and stirred boozy tipples as we see and sip today. 

And with time cocktails have seen different base alcohol to create something really interesting and vibrant.
