    I always assumed it was a pun for kids, cuz I’ve only seen them in cartoons. A “night cap” is usually an alcoholic drink taken to help you sleep, but in a kids cartoon it’s a literal cap worn at night.

      Apparently the garment came first, and then the drink was called a nightcap to allude to how it keeps you warm and cozy as you drift off to sleep.
