August is finally here, and it’s time to start thinking about what drinks we can celebrate during the eighth month of the year! The warm weather that characterizes this month means that the focus is on cold drinks, and here are three options you can mark a day on your calendar to celebrate and enjoy.
National IPA Day: August 7th
India Pale Ales are one of the most popular beer styles which have come out of the craft beer movement. On Friday, August 7th, they will be celebrated as fans of this hoppy beer around the world will crack open an IPA, whether it’s milkshake, West Coast, or English, and enjoy a brew.
National Rum Day: August 16th
No liquor screams summer like rum, and on August 16th, get your cocktail maker ready to make your favorite cocktail containing this Caribbean liquor. This distilled version of sugarcane juice is a great option for combining with fruit juices or with other sweet and sour ingredients which show off its best qualities.
National Sweet Tea Day: August 21st
One of the American South’s most beloved drinks is sweet tea, a cold brew infusion which is made devilishly sweet with the addition of tablespoons and tablespoons of sugar. While this might not be the healthiest drink to enjoy every day, it sure is refreshing in the summer!
