Your favorite holiday obviously requires a libation, but what about
today? Now you can shake up your cocktail routine to celebrate every
day of the year, from Absurdity Day (November 20) and Africa Day (May
25) to Women's Day (August 9) and Zoo Lovers Day (April 8). These
recipes for timeless classics, twists on familiar favorites, and
creative concoctions commemorate historical events, international
peoples, beloved foods, pop-culture icons, oddball occasions, and more.
They honor every day with names, flavors, or histories that embrace the
spirit of each celebration, including the mainstays. On New Year's Day,
sip a Gordon's Breakfast as hair of the dog. Declare your independence
on the Fourth of July with an Ex-Pat. Make a Manhattan to acknowledge
where the first Labor Day parade took place. Impress loved ones on
Thanksgiving with Apple Cider Mojitos. With charming illustrations and
