Happy World Cocktail Day!
That’s May 13, FYI.
We’re going to celebrate in the most obvious way: cocktails.
Whether you pick up a mixed drink to enjoy at home or manage to book an outdoor space for a bev, today is the day to get sipping.
We’ve rounded up the best places to grab a cocktail today and beyond.
Bar 31 at the Shangri-La
Craving an Aperol Spritz fix? London’s Bar 31 has transformed its ground-floor outdoor space into an Aperol Terrazza, offering seven varieties of the chic Italian aperitif.
