#EasterCocktail in 2023: Easter Cocktail
I decided to do Easter cocktails today, but once I got looking into it properly, I realised that most of the cocktails talked about on “i cocktails for Easter” are really just ordinary spring or summer cocktails. Rather than jumo onto that train, I’ve selected a single cocktail for this evening.
That cocktail is the Easter Cocktail, which was created by Created by Simon King at MJU Bat, Millennium Hotel, London, in 2003.
If anyone knows of cocktails actually related to Easter, I’d appreciate a heads up for next year.

A New York Sour for International Whiskey Day 2023
The 27th March is International Whiskey Day!
Today we’re bringing you the New York Sour, a variant of the whisky sour thought to have been created during the 1880s in Chicago, USA, before being popularised by a bartender in New York City, thereby earning its modern name.
It’s a whiskey sour with a float of dry red wine, which, as well as being visually stunning, adds complexity and a fruit acidity.
