CBD Tuxedo Cocktail Recipe
If the word “tuxedo” sounds exotic to your ears, that’s because it’s not an English word. According to etymologists, “tuxedo” was originally a Native American term from the Algonquian tribes.
Interestingly, there are still debates over what this word refers to. Some people say “tuxedo” means “wolf,” while others say it refers to a “river.”
However, there’s no controversy over how this word became associated with the black-and-white dinner attire. Apparently, gentlemen at New York’s Tuxedo Park started wearing these suits to their swanky parties. These guys became so associated with dinner suits that Americans started calling them, well, “tuxedos!”

If you’re a cat lover—or a fan of Dr. Seuss—then you know humans aren’t the only mammals that “wear” tuxedos. An entire category of cats shares this distinctive white and black pattern.
However, did you know “tuxedo cat” isn’t technically a separate breed? Indeed, the breed doesn’t matter; all that counts is the fur pattern.
Even more interesting, archeological research suggests the ancient Egyptians had a deep affection for these cats. According to some estimates, about 70 percent of cats depicted in funerary hieroglyphics had black and white colors.
No wonder these cats want to be pampered like pharaohs!
