When the special glasses are set out on the table, and a toast to the early women’s rights movement is proposed—try this special recipe from our writer, Franco Salzillo, who prepared this drink to toast the 19th Amendment. Here’s his recommendation for a memorable toast to August 26th, Women’s Equality Day. Ed.
Let’s Have A Toast For Women’s Rights!
This year, 2020, marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution that guaranteed and protected women’s right to vote. This is quite a milestone, and a worthy occasion to have a toast.
The American social reformer and activist Susan B. Anthony once said, “There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers.” We’ve made some progress when it comes to equality, but not without a struggle.
There’s still a long road ahead, and both women and men must come together every day to fight for what’s right. Here’s a gorgeous drink recipe to toast for women’s rights, because I can’t think of a better reason to raise our glasses.
Include a lovely Berry Baby Bellini, a berry-scented and fizzy alcohol-free cocktail reminiscent of summer on your “to do list.” This is a colorful drink is both fun and memorable, the perfect concoction for our very special toast.
Berry Baby Bellini Recipe Serves 5, time 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup assorted berries: blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, or similar
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 bottle of sparkling apple cider, alcohol-free
