World Cocktail Day

I think there is a World Day for almost everything now! World Cocktail Day is celebrated annually on May 13th to mark the anniversary of the first 1806 definition of a cocktail. The New York tabloid The Balance and Columbian Repository defined a cocktail as "a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters". It's a global celebration of mixology, creativity, and the history of mixed drinks, encouraging people to visit bars or craft their own cocktails. 

I like cocktails and over the years have tried a few.



The Cherry Bakewell has been a firm favourite since first tasting it
celebrating my birthday five years ago.




That is now joined by the Toffee Fudge Espresso Martini
first tasted last week at the Ivy.
I craft these at home now!


Cheers
