The Origins and Significance of World Cocktail Day
World Cocktail Day is observed annually on May 13th, marking the publication date of the first definition of a cocktail on May 13, 1806, in The Balance and Columbian Repository. This definition described a cocktail as a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—a recipe that has inspired countless variations and sparked a global fascination with mixology. The day not only celebrates the rich history of cocktails but also honors the creativity and craftsmanship of mixologists worldwide.
This festive day provides an excellent opportunity to explore the evolution of cocktails from their classic roots to modern interpretations, encompassing a wide array of ingredients and innovative techniques. It's a day for enthusiasts and newcomers alike to appreciate the artistry behind their favorite libations and perhaps discover new ones.
World Cocktail Month in Metro Manila: A Celebration of Flavors and Talent
In Metro Manila, the spirit of World Cocktail Day stretches throughout the entire month, transforming it into a vibrant celebration known as World Cocktail Month. This year, several prestigious hotels and venues, particularly those under the Accor group such as Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Raffles Makati, and Novotel Manila, are taking part in this flavorful festival. Each venue offers a unique array of specially crafted cocktails, themed events, and exceptional hospitality that showcase the best of both local and international cocktail culture.
