🍸✨ Cheers to World Cocktail Day! ✨🍸
Today we’re raising a glass to some of North America’s most iconic serves—each with a story rooted in the cities and regions that made them legendary
🌿 Mint Julep (Kentucky, USA)
Deeply tied to the American South, the Mint Julep is synonymous with the Kentucky Derby. Bourbon, fresh mint and crushed ice make it the ultimate warm-weather refresher with serious heritage.
🍸 Manhattan (New York City, USA)
A true Big Apple icon, this smooth blend of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters is said to have originated at the Manhattan Club in the 1870s—sophisticated then, just as it is now.
🍁 Caesar (Calgary, Canada)
Invented in 1969 to celebrate the opening of a new Italian restaurant, the Caesar has become Canada’s national cocktail. With vodka, Clamato juice and a savoury kick, it’s a brunch staple across the country.
Whether inspired by New York’s glamour, Kentucky’s deep-rooted traditions, or Calgary’s creative flair, there’s a story behind every sip 🥂
