Cocktail was Purioso’s most famed representative in International Dressage, and helped put him in the top ten rankings for dressage stallions. Cocktail really is a ‘cocktail’ of bloodlines and lineages.
Cocktail’s dam was the ‘keur preferent’ mare, Ulissa by the French Thoroughbred, Le Val Blanc. Le Val Blanc xx was born in 1969 and died in 1981 after siring a number of sporthorses in Holland. He was the sire of the approved stallion, Zuidhorn. Le Val Blanc was by Val de Loir, a son of Vieux Manoir, who is also the sire of Mourne, an enormously influential sire of jumping horses in France.
Ulissa was also the dam of the stallion Falco (by Pele). Her dam sire, was the Trakehner, Hessel, who was known for excellent movement. In the fourth generation is the Holsteiner stalliion, Antonio, by Thoroughbred Anblick – who was the sire of the Holstein stallioin, Aldato, as well as Josef Neckerman’s Olympic dressage horses, Venetia and Antoinette.
Cocktail was very successful with Anky van Grunsven, competing and winning at a World Cup level.
Cocktail was awarded the title "keur" stallion of the KWPN studbook, just like his sire. Cocktail produced five stallion sons: Hierarch, Jazz, Jordan, Nourejev and Havel.
Dressage progeny include Helianthe, Klister, Expandor, Kappucino, Gabber en Hilexta. Klister performed at the 1997 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses.
