Originally, Louisiana pioneers used only sugar rum in food but time and historic
migratory changes added the use of whiskeys, brandies, wine, etc and that alcoholic beverages should be added to the food after the heat has been cut off. The Creoles devised wines and liqueurs from almost anything from which juice could be extracted. From fermenting cane juice comes Vin de Canne. Watermelons, pecans, geraniums, oranges, pineapple, rice, strawberries, kumquats, guava, figs, plums, and pomegranates were all utilized. It is to the Creole ingenuity that we attribute the creation of the cocktail-an Anglo-Saxon version of the French word coquetier or egg cup in which an apothecary served a combination of brandy and bitters as early as 1793.
