National Vodka Day went into the works about 10 years ago, and it’s still going strong. Initially taking a leaf from the greeting card industry, the holiday was created to enable marketing campaigns and boost category sales for vodka brands looking for a clever way to increase sales. Albeit a sales strategy, Drink Me still loves the inventive and traditional cocktails that circulate our editorials, and brands like Cîroc who encourage classics and innovations alike.
