cocktail party. Cocktail parties have been traced back as far as ancient Athens, where you could drop by a neighbor’s early in the evening with your own goatskin of wine and be treated to a variety of “provocatives to drinking” that included caviar, oysters, shrimp, cheese, and even marinated octopus and roast- ed grasshoppers.
