MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR ESSENTIAL COCKTAILS

Moving into the new year, we need to celebrate the little moments and of course, drink days.

Even the most random things have days that are set in place for them. But why not spend this year making cocktails inspired by these peculiar days like National Stop Food Waste Day and National Sandwich Day? Each month, we will release five essential cocktails for you to celebrate five of these national drink days.

So you can prepare, we have put together a list of these national drink days. You’ll have to check back every month to see which ones inspired the cocktails.

Here is your complete list of the 2021 drink days.
