It’s World Bartender Day, and we’re celebrating across the globe, enjoying internationally inspired cocktails created by our talented bartenders. It’s been a tricky year, especially in the hospitality industry, so we want to celebrate the amazing bartenders out there and thank them for their glorious cocktail creations.
We’re raising a toast to our fellow bartenders and look forward to all sharing a drink together again soon!
