Excuses To Eat & Drink: June Edition

Negronis, Caipirinhas & Martinis lead the way for "Official" Drink Holidays in JUN (and Iced Tea Day for you teetotalers as well).

JUN is also National Candy, Seafood and...Steakhouse(?) Month. Yeah, I don't get that one either.

Days of note:

1-2 - Negroni Week (cont'd)
7th - National Doughnut Day
10th - National Iced Tea Day. All of JUN has been designated as National Iced Tea Month, so feel free to ignore (or double down) as you see fit.
13th - International Cachaça Day. For the record, SEP 13 is NATIONAL Cachaça Day, but who's going to complain about another reason to have a Caipirinha? Especially as the weather heats up!
14th - National Strawberry Shortcake Day. It's also Flag Day! U.S.A...U.S.A...
15th - National Lobster Day. BONUSx2 - It's National Seafood Month.
19th - National Dry Martini Day.
22nd - National Onion Ring Day. Best rings I've had this year: Kronnerburger.
28th - National Ceviche Day. BONUSx2 - It's National Seafood Month.
