Valentine's Day Cocktail Markets

Overview

No one really knows when alcohol-loving humans first started mixing their booze with other ingredients, but we do know when they first started referring to the resulting concoctions as cocktails. It was in 1806, so more than 200 years ago. There's some food for thought next time you mix up or knock back a drink — or to impress your date with when you're drinking, chatting and making the most of Jade Buddha's returning cocktail markets.

What's a cocktail market? A chance to try plenty of different types, all in sample-sized tastes so you really can wet your lips with a few. Because the latest event is taking place on Valentine's Day, it'll be serving romance-themed tipples — and you can sip them from 6–8pm on Friday, February 14.

While entry to the riverside bar is free, $35 will get you four cocktail tokens to use at the special pop-up bar. For each token, you'll get one standard drink.

And it's worth remembering the golden rule of cocktails: they always taste better when you're drinking them with other people, especially on this particular occasion.
