5 ESSENTIAL COCKTAILS FOR APRIL
By Sophia DeVito
Each month, Chilled is bringing you five essential cocktails based on our National Drink Day Calendar.
Don’t forget to reference it so you can prepare for the upcoming holidays.
It’s officially that time of year where we’re taking evening strolls, opening up our windows, and relaxing outside, enjoying the start of the spring weather. Therefore, you will need a cocktail or two in tow.
Here are five essential cocktails you need to try this April.
Brockman’s “What’s Up Brock“
April 4 marks International Carrot Day. A weird day to celebrate but, carrot juice in a cocktail can provide some health benefits like improving skin, heart, and eye health. Mix up Brockman’s “What’s Up Brock” cocktail for the perfect drink to celebrate carrots!
The Peach Cobbler
Peach cobbler screams spring and summer so celebrating National Peach Cobbler Day on April 13 makes sense. This cocktail incorporates peach purée so fresh taste.
Big Green Bloody
Attention garlic lovers! There is a day for you, and it’s April 19. National Garlic Day is a great way to get more creative when it comes to cocktail making. The spice might seem like an odd thing to mix in cocktails, but in a homemade Bloody Mary mix, it works.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
A whole day to celebrate a cake? I’m in! Sip on this pineapple cocktail on April 20 in celebration of National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day. Such a simple yet delicious cocktail that will allow you to escape to a tropical paradise.

April 28 is National Stop Food Waste Day and the perfect way to enjoy the day is with a “scrap” cocktail! We are all becoming more conscious of the world around us and instead of throwing away kitchen scraps, try using them in your cocktails.
