May Highlights - Chelsea Flower Show, World Cocktail Day and the start of Summer!

May is one of those rare months which bestows us with not one but two long bank holiday weekends. Although the weather so far has not been to upto scratch, the month of May brings with it plenty of occasions to celebrate and many an opportunity to share a drink or two, hopefully in the sunshine!

Chelsea Flower Show and Elderflower Gin

Chelsea Flower Show has become more and more of a trend over the past few years, with many restaurants launching themed menus, including Momo’s tempting flower based Afternoon Tea and Sketch’s now infamous installation with blooming gardens and woodland glades.

Join in with this flowery frivolity and throw your own garden party with themed drinks, including Edinburgh Gin Elderflower Liqueur for tantalizing concoctions.

World Cocktail Day is celebrated on 13 May as it marks the publication of the very first definition of a cocktail back in 1806.

Tequila for Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a popular Mexican celebration that signifies the date the Mexicans defeated the French in May 1862. The Mexicans celebrate with a party, and no Mexican gathering is complete without Tequila. Sample the phenomenon of sipping, not shotting the drinks with KAH Anejo Tequila. These stunning bottle are individually hand-painted and they certainly look the part!

And finally...
