Celebrate World Cocktail Day with Recipes by BROKEN SHED VODKA and Fresh Farmer's Market Ingredients
BROKEN SHED VODKA and World Cocktail Day
Thursday, 5/13 marked World Cocktail Day and we have a great idea for celebrating every day. When crafting the ideal cocktails, it's always important to use the freshest ingredients in combination with your base spirit. When sourcing your fruits to use in various libations, instead of going to the grocery store, why not visit your local farmers market and pick up your produce from there! Crisp apples, peaches, strawberries and more never tasted more delicious than from a farmers market and when incorporated into cocktails, helps raise the bar in quality taste.
You can easily find a farmer's market near you by visiting the Farmer's Market Directory provided by the USDA: https://www.ams.usda.gov/local-food-directories/farmersmarkets
