National Cocktail Day - March 24
Cocktails have been around for thousands of years, but grew in popularity in the 18th century when public houses or “pubs” combined dark liquors with spices and juices, making hard liquors enjoyable for every palate. Through the American Prohibition era, adding sugar and spices to “black market” alcohols established cocktails in American drinking culture. Celebrate National Cocktail Day by promoting your restaurant’s cocktail menu, including non-alcoholic “mocktails” to attract the growing number of customers moving away from consuming alcohol. |
