Cocktail is the debut album from the Mexican electropop band Belanova. The album was recorded in Mexico City in 2002 and finally released on 14 February 2003 without promotion. The album spent its first months on the shelves, but then radio picked up the first single, "Tus Ojos." By the summer of 2003, the album finally entered album charts reaching its peak position of number-five and number-three on the Mexican Latin Albums Chart. The band embarked on a 100-concert tour across the Mexican territory and the album finally reached Gold (50,000 Copies sold) status after three official singles. The Mexican edition of Rolling Stone named the album, Cocktail, one of the best five albums of 2003. In 2005 the album was re-issued on reduced priced collections by Universal Music Mexico, because of this the sales of the album increased considerably, re-entering on the Mexican Top 100 Albums at seventy-nine and peaking at fifty-four after a few weeks. The album has been re-issued on Universal Music's slide-pack collections, making it the first time that the album has been available outside of Mexico.
