Seasons for Cocktails

Do you only drink certain cocktails in certain seasons? I remember getting teased for drinking a G&T past Labor Day by my brother-in-law many years back. I’m not rigid in my approach, but do have some favorites for different times of the year.

Martini — I generally prefer it during the winter and late fall, but sometimes an ice cold martini during the summer is not a bad thing.

Negroni — I usually reserve for the summer, but I’ve heard it is just as popular in winter.

Manhattan — I drink it all year long because it is my favorite.

Gin and Tonic — Clearly a summer drink, but in SoCal I will occasionally have one if it is warm in other seasons, despite what by BIL thinks.

No Manhattans in summer, just seems like a cooler weather drink. Martinis and Negronis year round. G&T year round but mostly in summer or Japanese restaurants.

No. I drink what I have an itch for. Same as I do for wine (rose all year).
