Sink the Bismarck!
On the 27th May 1941, the British Navy succeeded in sinking the German battleship Bismarck, named for Otto von Bismarck, a German politician who was Chancellor of Germany between 1871 and 1890, in a battle lasting several days.

2nd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 24th May: Imperial Fizz
Our second cocktail is the Imperial Fizz (also called a Whiskey Fizz). A fizz style cocktail is one which uses water and sugar for the fizz, its “Imperial” title suggests a drink of superior quality and would traditionally have been made with a blended whiskey (if only because until the 1960s, blended whiskey is all anyone drank).
1st #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 24th May: Americano
Our first cocktail is the Americano, which was first served at Gaspare Campari’s bar in Milan, Italy, in the 1860s. The name is thought to stem from it’s popularity with American tourists.. We’ve previously posted the Milano Torino and described it as a precursor to the Negroni, but the Americano came between the two of them, where it is reputed the Count Camillo Negroni asked for the soda water in the Americano be replaced with gin.
3rd #cocktail of #FridayNightCocktails on 17th May: Porto Tonico
