November 12 may not be an official, federal holiday but it should be. Why is that? Because it’s National Happy Hour Day! To help get you ready for this holy holiday we’ve highlighted 6 sensational cocktail recipes from our extensive collection, one each for gin, vodka, rum, bourbon, tequila, beer and wine (don’t worry, the math adds up). And since we love to snack while we’re enjoying a cocktail – and because some bars operate in areas that prohibit discounting alcohol beverages – we’ve also included 6 great bar food recipes.
To paraphrase Louis Pasteur, fortune favors the prepared. So, prepare yourself to make a fortune on this hallowed holiday by making certain you have the necessary components to make these recipes, and that your staff is prepared to make and sell them. As always, spread the word about your National Happy Hour Day plans with guests inside your venue and via your social media channels.
Cheers!

Popcorn is crunchy, salty and ideal for sharing or snacking on slowly while sipping a cocktail. Salty sells more cocktails, so be sure to have plenty of Bacon Caramel Popcorn on hand for your guests.
