Alcoholic drink recipes can be anywhere as simple as Jack and Coke, or as complicated as The Manhattan. Alcoholic drinks often include added sugar, fruit juice, and a twist of lemon. Drinks get their names from a range of different sources. Sometimes drinks are named after people. The Alexander is a drink made with creme de cacao, gin or brandy, and cream and is named after Alexander the Great hundreds of years after his death. The Bloody Mary was invented in 1920 and is named after Queen Mary I of England. It contains vodka and tomato juice. Dom Perignon was quintessential in the addition of bubbles to champagne during the 1600s. Harvey Wallbanger is named after an overenthusiastic surger named Tom Harvey from California in the 1970s. It contains orange juice, vodka, and Galliano. The Tom Collins is a combination of gin, lemon, sugar, and soda water and was named after a nineteenth-century bartender from London. The story of the naming of the Margarita varies but the most widely accepted version is that a Mexican bartender named Carlos Herrera named the drink after a showgirl named Marjorie King in the 1930s. Marjorie was apparently allergic to all hard liquor except tequila. Sometimes, drinks are named after particular situations. For example, the Screwdriver was named when a group of American oil rig workers in the Middle East were given canned orange juice instead of the local bad water. One day, they added vodka to the orange juice and stirred it up with something they had in hand, a screwdriver. Although many drinks go back almost a century, new alcoholic drink recipes are being created and named every day.
