SUMMARY:National Cocktail Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate all your favorite cocktails on March 24th. National Cocktail Day ushers in all the best ways to savor a beverage at the end of a long workday. Whether you like a fruity drink\, blended or on the rocks\, this day is for you. Mocktail\, virgin\, or the real thing\, celebrate the lemon\, lime\, bitters\, liquors\, and liqueurs that make your favorite beverages the best in your bartender book. \n\n\n \n\n#NationalCocktailDay\nIt’s probably no surprise that nearly every month on the calendar celebrates a cocktail. The only exception is April\, and since it’s National Alcohol Awareness Month\, it makes sense to take that month off. \n  \nA cocktail contains a spirit or a mix of spirits. While a beer is not considered a cocktail\, there are beer cocktails where beer is added to a distilled ingredient. The same applies to wine. \nThe other months pay homage to histories\, ingredients\, and the makers of some legendary cocktails. January begins the year dedicating a day to the Bloody Mary\, and there’s also a day for her Canadian counterpart\, the Bloody Caesar\, in May. January also devotes an entire week to Mocktails. In February\, you can celebrate the Margarita and Kahlua. March brings us International Whisk(e)y Day\, among others. Skipping back to May\, you can imbibe in both Palomas and Mimosas for your celebrations. \n\n\n \nJune & July\nJune and July compete for the most cocktail-related days. From Martinis and Bourbon in June to Pina Coladas and Daiquiris in July\, the two months cover the spectrum. There are even a few bottles of wine in between. Not only do they celebrate specific cocktails but they also celebrate the places we enjoy them. National Dive Bar Day in July invites us to celebrate the places that serve our favorite cocktails\, even if it’s an ice-cold beer. \nThe rest of the year covers all our chilled and heated cocktails. By December\, we readily reminisce National Repeal Day and the Bartenders who keep that era and the skills alive. \nWe have only skimmed the surface of the cocktails celebrated on the calendar\, so National Cocktail Day allows you to celebrate whichever one you like! \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL COCKTAIL DAY\n\nCreate your favorite cocktail to celebrate.\nExplore cocktail ingredients or read a bartender’s manual.\nLearn the finer elements of mixing cocktails and expand your home bar.\nVisit a speakeasy or take a tour of your favorite distillery.\nHost a cocktail tasting session. Create a classic menu with a professional bartender who provides history and describes the nuances behind the ingredients.\nAttend a cocktail tasting party. You will learn more about how and why ingredients are combined the way they are.\nVisit your local bookstore and pick up a cocktail or bar book. Follow the recipes and read about the histories these bartenders share. We recommend The Essential Bar Book by Jennifer Fielder\, The Art and Science of The Perfect Cocktail by Janice Dreese\, and Craft Cocktails at Home: Offbeat Techniques\, Contemporary Crowd-Pleasers\, and Classics Hacked with Science by Kevin Liu.\nVisit your local bar and pick your bartender’s brain. Some like to share their techniques. Ask them what their favorite cocktail is. And\, be sure to tip them well for their advice and service.\nTry making a mocktail. Especially on those weeknights when work is busy\, and you need to keep up. Many of them infuse nutrients many of us are lacking. Keep these recipes on hand for your friends who are designated drivers\, sober for life\, supporting a friend\, or for any reason.\nAs always\, ANY TIME we are indulging in spirits and alcohol\, DON’T drink and drive. Designate a sober driver. Call a taxi\, Uber\, Lyft\, or friend.\nWhen you celebrate\, share your favorites by using #NationalCocktailDay on social media.\n\nSource Link
