Raise a Glass to Global Flavour: Celebrate World Cocktail Day with ANGOSTURA®

This World Cocktail Day, ANGOSTURA® invites cocktail lovers on a globe-trotting flavour adventure – no passport required.

From the sultry streets of New Orleans to the stylish rooftops of Tokyo, there’s a cocktail that captures the spirit of every city, and a dash of ANGOSTURA® to bring it to life.

Sip Around the World: Signature Cocktails by City

  • New York: The Big Apple gave us Broadway, bagels, and the bold-as-ever Manhattan – a cocktail so timeless it probably hails cabs on instinct. Add a dash of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters, and you’ve got yourself a drink with main character energy.
  • Paris: Sure, you can’t pack the Eiffel Tower in your carry-on, but you can bring the French 75 home like a true souvenir with sparkle. A little champagne, a splash of gin, a squeeze of lemon, and a cheeky dash (or two) of ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters, et voilà! Paris in a glass, minus the jet lag.
  • London: Nothing says “sophisticated” quite like a Gin & Tonic – it’s crisp, it’s classy, and with a twist of ANGOSTURA® orange bitters, it basically has a PhD in flavour. Sip it with your pinky up – it’s what the gin gods would want.
  • Cape Town: Craving a lekker Rock Shandy to cool you down faster than a Cape Town cold front? The Mother City’s got your back! Just add a dash – or two – of ANGOSTURA® orange bitters for that citrusy skop that’ll have your taste buds doing the Table Mountain two-step.
  • Tokyo: The Precise Highball: Born in Tokyo, where perfection is practically a national sport. It’s clean, crisp, and gets a stylish upgrade with a dash of ANGOSTURA® bitters—because even minimalism deserves a little flair.
  • Mexico City: Home of the zesty Paloma – where Mexico City proves that tequila and grapefruit were basically soulmates. Add a dash of ANGOSTURA® bitters and you’ve got a fiesta in a glass with just the right amount of sass.
  • Havana: The iconic Mojito – minty, muddled, and basically a party in a glass. It’s like your taste buds booked a last-minute trip to Havana and came back with rhythm and a fresh lime addiction.
  • Rome: Where history, fashion, and the Negroni reign supreme. Bitter-sweet, bold, and smoother than a Roman scooter ride at sunset. Aperitivo hour isn’t just a tradition here—it’s practically a lifestyle. And yes, ANGOSTURA® bitters makes it taste like amore in a glass.
