The month of October is finally upon us, which means it’s time to turn the calendar to a whole new month of food and drink celebrations!

Those of us who like to celebrate these holidays will find a wide variety of holidays related to some of the world’s favorite drinks in the upcoming month. Here are the three top ones that you must add to your calendar!

National Frappe Day: October 7th

National Frappe Day is celebrated annually on October 7th, which gives us all the perfect excuse to enjoy this coffee favorite. Ice, coffee, and sugar are combined to make a delicious drink that can have all kinds of flavor additions included.

National Red Wine Day: October 15th

Red wine is a favorite when the temperatures drop, which means that celebrating this holiday in the middle of autumn is the perfect excuse to pour yourself a glass of red wine. Some of my favorites for the fall season include Tempranillo and Cabernet Franc.

National Liqueur Day: October 16th

Whether you want to prepare a mixed drink or enjoy your favorite liqueur on ice, Friday, October 16th is a day that you must mark on your calendar! Liqueur—a category that includes liquor-based drinks with other flavors added—is a staple of Mixology and gets its own day to celebrate on the sixteenth.
