Well, Jim, it's a big country, so what might be common where you are many not be common in another state.
You can also just go to cocktail.com to see that the term "cocktail" is still alive and kicking. Or any of the other many cocktail sites like... cocktails.com, kitchenandcocktail.com, kingcocktail.com, talesof thecocktail.com... that last one is a food and cocktail festival in the French Quarter of New Orleans, held in July.
