So when you are feeling a little sluggish from the time change and need a pick-me-up on March 14, give this recipe a go. While we always love a classic cocktail, this riff on the Espresso Martini is a must-try.
Cucumber Gimlet
The start of the Spring Equinox (3/2) calls for a cocktail! Cucumber pairs beautifully in this gin cocktail. Its refreshing flavor makes it the perfect sipper for the start of the warm weather. This cocktail can easily be elevated as well. Add in fresh mint sprigs or muddled strawberries to give a different flavor profile that is still tasty for spring.
Americano
Vermouth Day falls on March 21, and while this day may seem a little random, don’t forget the power vermouth brings to cocktails. In the last few years, low ABV aperitifs have been all the craze. It doesn’t just belong in martinis either this spritz is great for those imbibers who want a pre-dinner cocktail.
On The Edge
Of course, we’re providing you with a whiskey cocktail to make for International Whisk(e)y Day on March 27! This cocktail is creamy and indulgent and perfect for those looking to get into the rye/whiskey world but need help to guide their palette. The mixture of Amaretto with rye plays nice in this drink.
