Pony - cocktail

A cocktail popular with women in the 1920s, consisting of an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic drink, which was served in bars, nightclubs and dance halls. It usually consisted of a piccolo bottle of sparkling wine and orange juice. However, sparkling wine with egg liqueur was also used, or in cafés a piece of cake with a coffee and an alcoholic drink such as Black Forest gateau with amaretto or kirsch. In contrast to this, the "Herrengedeck" usually contained a sparkling wine and a beer or a beer and a grain. See also under wine-based drinks, mixed wine drinks and a list under speciality wines.
