Win a £500 prize bundle in our giveaway for Earth Day
In the UK, April is the time of year when the weather (hopefully) starts to get warmer, the evenings get lighter and we can socialise more outdoors. But did you know that Earth Day also falls on April 22nd each year? Earth Day marks the anniversary of the start of the modern Environmental Movement, and it dates back to the 1970s. It aims to increase awareness of environmental issues, and to remind us all of the things that we can do to be more sustainable and mindful of our use of the Earth’s resources. This year, you can win a £500 prize bundle in our giveaway for Earth Day.
Here at Shake A Cocktail, we do everything that we can to minimise our impact on the planet, from recycling our used bottles, to making making our own coffee liqueur. There are many things that you can do to be more sustainable. Some ideas to be more sustainable from a cocktail-makers’ point of view are:
- Buy local. Try base spirits and ingredients that are produced locally, rather than imported ones. These will have a lower carbon footprint as they have a shorter transportation distance to reach you.
- Avoid plastic containers and utensils. Don’t buy mixers or ingredients in plastic packaging wherever possible. You could try growing your own garnishes such as mint and rosemary.
- Reuse your empties. Some spirits and liqueurs come in lovely bottles that you can repurpose to store your own home made ingredients, such as sugar syrup, coffee liqueur or flavoured vodka. Just be sure to sterilise the bottle first. Add a homemade label or decoration to make it more unique. You could also use these to make gifts.
- Recycle. Make sure to recycle any bottles or containers that you can’t reuse in the correct manner.
