My Plea for Stretching Out World Cocktail Week for an Extra Week
Okay, I realize that World Cocktail Week ended on Tuesday, May 13th, but in my mind (and I hope you agree) I think it’s a dandy idea to stretch out this, the tastiest holiday week, for another week. Or even for the rest of the month, for that matter. World Cocktail Week was created by the fine, fine folks at the Museum of the American Cocktail to “celebrate the rich history of the cocktail and recognize the craftsmanship and skill of the bartenders who have been mixing them for over 200 years,” and that’s the kind of celebration that should go on, and on, and on in my mind. Though, after hearing about the many amazing events that already happened (you can read about a lot of them on the Museum’s friendly and fun blog), I can understand that a few revelers might need a little catch-up time. Here’s a thought: if you haven’t already raised a few glasses in honor of WCW, then don’t feel bad about having a little late party in honor of those cocktails and cocktailians you love; if you’ve already celebrated, then just think nice thoughts about cocktails until you’re up to consuming again. But either way, if you love cocktails and drinks and hanging out in bars (both licensed and home bars), then the one thing you have to do is get yourself a membership to the Museum, which is a non-profit organization--and the only organization--dedicated the legacy, and the future, of the cocktail. Cheers.
