National Cocktail Day
On March 24th, enjoy all your favorite cocktails. In all the right ways to savor a drink at the end of a long workday, ushers in National Cocktail Day ushers. This day is for you, whether you like a fruity drink, blended or on the rocks. In your bartender book, Mocktail, virgin, or the real thing, celebrates the lemon, lime, bitters, vodka, whiskey, and liqueurs that make your favorite beverages the best in your bartender book.
It's no surprise that almost every month on the calendar celebrates a cocktail. The only notable exception is April, and since it's National Alcohol Awareness Month, it makes sense to skip the month.
The other months pay tribute to the past, ingredients, and designers of some famous cocktails. The Bloody Mary is the year's first day of the year, and there is also a day for her Canadian counterpart, the Bloody Caesar, in May. Mocktails are also devotes an entire week to Mocktails in January. You can commemorate the Margarita and Kahlua in February. International Whisk(e)y Day is March, among other things, is celebrated in March. For your festivities, you can imbibe in both Palomas and Mimosas, dating back to May.
June & july
The most cocktail-related days of the month take place in June and July. The two months cover everything from Martinis and Bourbon in June to Pina Coladas and Daiquiris in July. There are even a few bottles of wine in between. Not only do they celebrate specific cocktails, but they also celebrate the places we love them. Even if it's an ice-cold beer, we're invited to celebrate the places that serve our favorite cocktails on July's National Dive Bar Day.
All our chilled and heated cocktails are available throughout the year. We quickly recall National Repeal Day and the Bartenders who preserve the period and the skills that have been preserved by December.
We've only scratched the surface of the cocktails on the calendar, so National Cocktail Day encourages you to enjoy whichever one you like!
