"etymology_text": "Early 17th century, from cock (“male bird”) + tail, in the sense “(a horse with its) tail standing up, like a cock’s”. The origin of the extension to “an alcoholic mixed drink” is unknown. One theory is that it refers to a simulant (gingering), hence a simulating drink; compare pick-me-up. Another attested use is for non-thoroughbred racehorses: these were considered \"cock-tailed\" due to their docked tails. This may have led to the term \"cocktail\" (sense 1) being used for an adulterated spirit.",

The origin of the extension to “an alcoholic mixed drink” is unknown. One theory is that it refers to a simulant (gingering), hence a simulating drink; compare pick-me-up. Another attested use is for non-thoroughbred racehorses: these were considered \"cock-tailed\" due to their docked tails. This may have led to the term \"cocktail\" (sense 1) being used for an adulterated spirit.",
