Today is World Cocktail Day, a worldwide celebration of cocktails, held on this date to mark the publication of the first definition of a cocktail back in 1806.
And with all the more reason to celebrate now outdoor hospitality is back, the rule of six for garden gatherings and only a few more days to go until you can be sipping your favourite cocktails inside your favourite bars, we’re celebrating together with two tasty Slingsby sharer cocktails.
These deliciously refreshing tipples are perfect for whipping up with your friends this evening in the garden, bringing you the taste of summer… even if it is a little grey out.
