A Coow Woow is a mixed alcoholic beverage made from ginger brandy and rum,[1] purported but not proven to be the first of its kind[2][3] in the United States, with earliest documentation to be from 1664. The Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts serves Coow Woow drinks on its menu,[4][5] and the history of the drink may be fictional.[6][7]
