How it all began

Fashion for mixed drinks - cocktails - emerged in the early nineteenth century. Over time, these compounds have gained popularity among men, and among the fair sex. Only juveniles were strangers to this celebration of life: alcohol they were never offered.

Who first had the idea to mix completely non-alcoholic cocktail, now do not know. But, anyway, the menu of many cafes and bars were non-alcoholic version of the famous drink, called «Virgin», which translated to English means virgin, innocent.
