How to make a cocktail

History of the Red Eye Cocktail
The Red Eye cocktail is one of the few popular beer-based cocktails.
Although beer has been known as a separate drink for almost a thousand years, there are not so many cocktails based on it, and those that are popular can be completely counted on the fingers. Red eye is just one of them.
This is the so-called “hangover” cocktail, which was served in US bars in the mornings especially for those who wanted to come to their senses after a stormy night.
The cocktail gained great popularity after the release of the film “Cocktail”.
The hero of Tom Cruise – a bartender named Brian Flanagan – liked to take a good walk at night, and in the morning he was “treated” with the Red Eye cocktail.
Thanks to the movie, the cocktail was known to the general public, and because of the ease of preparation and only two cheap ingredients, it quickly gained popularity.
