Like we ever needed a reason for a wonderful rum cocktail! But just in case you don’t have one, let us give you one. Today marks World cocktail day, woohoo! Every year on May 13, people the world over celebrate World Cocktail Day to appreciate the artistry and unique range of cocktails for us all to enjoy in the sure to be thousands of unimaginable recipes and expressions. It’s a day for anyone from the average person to trade & professionals alike to experiment, appreciate and honour the historical significance the art of cocktail making has brought to us all.
This day marks the anniversary of the first time a cocktail was defined in print, back in 1806 by ‘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 formula now known as the “old-fashioned” which many today are still very much enjoying.
There are many ways to celebrate world cocktail day, eg. attend a rum tasting, order a new cocktail to explore, but today Rumora is offering you a wonderful rum cocktail created by The Beach Comber Tiki Bar to try at home. So lift your glass and celebrate the vastness of cocktails and have a go of this rum cocktail. Cheers.
