World Cocktail Day falls on May 13 every year, and this year, we intend to celebrate it in high spirits. (pun intended) This day marks the day when the definition of a cocktail was published for the first time ever on May 13, 1806. The day is earmarked to celebrate delicious and heady cocktails and we thought of no better way of doing it than to make some at home to experience the magic of these concoctions with our near and dear ones. The day falls on Friday this year, and since we would be on the brink of a relaxing weekend, let’s go on a spirituous bender with these cocktails that can be made in less than 15 minutes.
