With the news that #WorldGinDay and #WorldMartiniDay will be united by #WorldGinWeek this year, here's my latest (and now slightly out of date!) column for Drinksbiz pondering the point of all these drinks awareness days... and yes #GinADayMay gets a mention too!

Time to celebrate #MartiniDay
#WorldMartiniDay... My Arsenic & Old Lace Martinis are served. Cheers 🍸🍸

Oggi è il #worldmartiniday
Ricordatevi di festeggiare!

Un consiglio non richiesto?
Mettete il gin e i bicchieri nel freezer, poi quando è tutto ben freddo tirate fuori i bicchieri, mettete due gocce di vermouth dry in ognuno per "avvinare" il bicchiere, poi versate il gin gelido e viscoso.
Guarnite con buccia di limone strizzata per bene in superficie e passata sul bordo del calice.

Cin!

#WorldMartiniDay and the portable Martini kit is out.
For World Martini Day Husband Unit made a world-spanning Martini: Italian gin, Japanese “bermutto” (a vermouth made with sake fortified with rice spirits plus herbs), and a black lemon bitters based on preserved lemons from the Indian subcontinent, plus a jalapeño-stuffed olive/lemon peel flag. #cocktails #Martini #WorldMartiniDay
