During the time of royalty in Germany, the servants cleaning up after feasts would collect the leftover drinks in a hogshead or similar container, split it up amongst themselves, and enjoy it then or take it home (usually for further fermentation). This was called the "kalte ende", or cold end. Later, a translation error changed this to "kalte ente" or Cold Duck. I like the phrase cold end for the leftovers. Pretty descriptive, no? |

Hmm, despite decades in Germany, I never heard (or found here, now) that explanation. These days Kalte Ente is a bottle of white wine, a bottle of bubbly and lemon (or non-alcoholic: apple juice, soda water and lemon). Anyway, in my family, there was never anything left over in the cocktail shaker, it was served as seconds. Normally - less attractively expressed than Steph has - anything left in a glass, bottle, barrel or other drinks container is called the dregs. |

Thanks for all that, but there is a specific term for the mixture of residual alcohol and melted ice from the bottom of a cocktail shaker |
