History of World Passion Fruit Martini Day
The British have their way of doing everything. One of their stylish ways to consume alcohol is by making cocktails that are both delicious and eye-catching. Even to a person who does not consume alcohol, their ways of presenting their cocktails are very appealing.
However, mere alcohol is not the topic of conversation here. We are discussing a rather specific type of alcohol that when mixed with passion fruit, makes a satisfying cocktail — a martini with passion fruit! For those who do not know what it is, a martini is a blend of gin, which is a type of hard liquor made from juniper berries with around 30% to 50% alcohol by concentration; and vermouth, a form of aromatic and colored wine. Those two components make a very fruity combination to begin with already. Now mix this with passion fruit, and you have a whole new level of martini to treat yourself with.
Now that you can picture the cocktail in your mind, focus on this fact: Britain has manufacturers who solely manufacture and deal with such cocktails. Funkin Cocktails is among the top contenders. In the United Kingdom, you can get custom-ready cocktails — all you need to do is add passion fruit to them.
With this knowledge that you now possess, World Passion Fruit Martini Day can be a day you too can celebrate in style!
World Passion Fruit Martini Day timeline
The bartender at the Occident Hotel in San Francisco adopts a recipe for a special drink with gin and dry white wine, replacing the white wine with vermouth and naming the drink “the Martinez.”
Jerry Thomas’s magazine, “Bartender's Guide, How to Mix All Kinds of Plain and Fancy Drinks,” mentions the Martinez for the first time.
The term “cocktail party” is coined, and people follow the trend of drinking cocktails at gatherings.
