Actress Gina Gershon stated in a podcast Interview that during their bed scene, Tom Cruise knew she was extremely ticklish and tickled her so hard, they both fell off the bed. It was, in fact, the take used in the movie.
The term for the flamboyant tending of bar by Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) and Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown) is "flair bartending" which is an acrobatic bar-tending skill. John Bandy, a flair bartender, trained Tom Cruise for the film.
The film was made and released four years after its source novel of the same name by Heywood Gould. Gould also penned the screenplay for this movie.
Robin Williams was considered for the role of Brian Flanagan. Williams had previously starred in Club Paradise (1986). Incidentally, Williams starred in director Roger Donaldson's next film Cadillac Man (1990). Both Club Paradise and Cocktail were filmed in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
The boxing fight match shown on television, upon which Doug Coughlin (Bryan Brown) has a fifty dollar bet, is a heavyweight bout between George Foreman and Ken Norton.
"[Last Barman poem] Brian: I am the last barman poet / I see America drinking the fabulous cocktails I make / Americans getting stinky on something I stir or shake / The sex on the beach / The schnapps made from peach / The velvet hammer / The Alabama slammer. / I make things with juice and froth / The pink squirrel / The three-toed sloth. / I make drinks so sweet and snazzy / The iced tea / The kamakazi / The orgasm / The death spasm / The Singapore sling / The dingaling. / America you've just been devoted to every flavor I got / But if you want to got loaded / Why don't you just order a shot? / Bar is open."
"Doug: The luck is gone / the brain is shot / but the liquor we still got."
