WHILE cheap beer and wine on holiday are easy to find, a cocktail can often be more expensive.

The popular alcohol traces back to 1805, although is said to have been invented in 1919 in Italy.
It was sold to women in the 1920s and 1930s as a slimline drink option, only to become even more popular in the 2000s
