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.
April is here! The days are becoming longer, and we are finally getting away from those cold nights. Get your shakers ready because these five essential cocktails are ones you’re going to want to try.
Here are five cocktails for you to make this month.
Carrot King
Yes, there is an International Carrot Day (4/4), so this cocktail is what you should be making. If you aren’t a Bloody Mary fan, the Carrot King could be the replacement. The mix of tequila with carrot juice, hot sauce, and ginger makes for a bold and fiery cocktail. If you’re looking for a drink on the healthier side, give this a try. Carrot juice can help boost immunity, improve skin, and boost your heart health.
Salinas Gin and Tonic
This classic cocktail deserves praise. April 9 marks National Gin and Tonic Day, and we are providing you with all of the secrets to make the perfect G&T. While it may only be two ingredients, those two ingredients have everything to do with the flavor profile. Brush up on your 101 skills and try this drink.
Georgia Peach Bellini
Peach season is right around the corner. Soon enough, the juicy fruit will be in every grocery store, so you can make peach purees and syrups to have on hand. Mix up this bellini on National Peach Cobbler Day (4/13). This cocktail highlights the fresh and sweet flavors that peaches offer.
Disaronno Fizz
Amaretto Day falls on April 19, and this recipe couldn’t be more simple. This is a great cocktail to add to any bar menu because chances are you already have the ingredients on hand. The Disaronno Fizz is a delightful option for anyone who is looking for something sweet and bubbly.
Earl Grey Mint Julep
National Tea Day (4/21) is the best excuse to play around with different flavor profiles in cocktails. Start planning for the Kentucky Derby and try out this mint julep recipe. The mint and Earl Grey pair beautifully in this drink. This is a good option for those who want to get into the bourbon world but prefer a sweeter cocktail.
