Even cocktails have a birthday!
Who would have thought that cocktails have birthdays? No kidding! World Cocktail Day is celebrated every May 18th and a long-week of celebration is done in various bars worldwide held around May 6th until the 18th.
To have a signature cocktail is classy – no really. To walk into a bar boasting some seriously top-shelf nectar and be able to order a cocktail off the top of your head is a sign of someone who’s got it going on. James Bond, for example, is a martini man (shaken not stirred). Sex & The City’s Carrie Bradshaw is a fan of the Cosmopolitan and That ’70s Show’s Kitty Forman wouldn’t be the woman she is without a Manhattan (or three … bah, who’s counting).
Below are the top 10 classic cocktails you should commit to memory and name-drop over the bar. It’s a very character-building experience … especially in front of all your cocktail-bamboozled friends.
1. Cosmopolitan
2 Martini
3. Manhattan
4. Japanese Slipper
5. B-52 (Long)
6. Brandy Alexander
7. Grasshopper
8. Harvey Wallbanger (Long)
9. Tom Collins
10. Margarita
