Little did we know two centuries ago that cocktails will evolve from just being the celebratory element at events to a drink we enjoy on a regular basis. Since the term “cocktail” was formally defined on May 13, 1806, the day has been celebrated with readily accessible ingredients that may be mixed with your favorite spirit, whether it be scotch, vodka or gin.
This World Cocktail Day on 13th May 2022, Diageo India continues its tradition of offering summertime in a glass with a few delectable recipes. Hone your bartending skills with expert recommendation by the Brand Ambassadors of Diageo and raise a toast to your love for these tasty and refreshing alcoholic drinks.
