Cocktails are generally accepted these days to be any sort of mixed alcoholic drink, although sometimes cocktails may even refer to non-alcoholic mixed drinks, such as fruit juice cocktails. Originally the term meant a mix of some sort of alcohol, a sweetener, and bitters.

Most cocktails are made with the four mainstays of alcohol: vodka, gin, whiskey, and rum. Other cocktails may use more exotic liquors, like absinthe or Jägermeister, but for the most part all cocktails include at least one of the four primary alcohols.

Many tropical cocktails first became popular in the 1920's and 30's and are as famous today as they were then. It was during that time that Ernest Hemingway helped bring the Daiquiri out of the obscurity of Havana bars and Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic opened up their first Tiki bars which were to become great hits. Rum is the dominant spirit of most tropical cocktails, but tequila and vodka are also found in some of the favorites.

Popular tropical cocktails: Bahama Mama, Between the Sheets, Daiquiri, Hurricane, Mai Tai, Margarita, Mojito, Piña Colada, Planter's Punch, Rum Runner,
Zombie.
