This is a fascinating article full of history. This is the literal opposite of clickbait. There's no "preamble for engagement", the whole thing is just a really interesting story of an aspect of drinking culture in the US.

And the article makes a good case that tea punch was the first mixed drink, which you could interpret either as predating cocktails or being the first cocktail.

Do you have historical evidence to suggest another mixed drink predated it?
