International Coffee Day is September 29. I thank the heavens for that because, without this national day of awareness, we would have no knowledge of the world’s most popular hot beverage.
I would think coffee was pretty well established in the market, but apparently not. I’m assuming now there will also be “internationals days” for other bizarre, alternative beverages like milk and orange juice.
In the sprit of “What the hell? We might as well jump into it…”, Hornitos Tequila joined up with mixologist Christian Sanders of NYC’s Evelyn Drinkery to create a coffee cocktails, the proud Hornitos Brewed Awakenings cocktail.
