Cocktail fans everywhere go all out for National Martini Day
Whether you like it dry, shaken, or burnt -- one thing's for sure -- there's nothing quite like National Martini Day to indulge in our love for happy hour! After all, the classic martini is ALWAYS in style.
A drink made with gin, vermouth and garnished with an olive or a lemon twist -- this all-time favorite has become one of the best-known mixed alcoholic beverages in the world. And the best part? There are SO many ways you can order it!
You've probably heard of "shaken, not stirred" -- but let's not forget about "straight up," "with a twist," on the rocks" and all the other delicious martini concoctions.
That being said, it's Friday and all we can think about is A) the weekend, and B) what cocktail we'll be ordering after work. Some people, however, have already started celebrating the holiday and we really can't blame them! Take a look at how the public is choosing to enjoy this refreshing day.

Happy #MartiniDay. It's not national. It's not global. It's not one day of the year. That would be like #OxygenDay! pic.twitter.com/Sfv7Yu1HpC
