Makes 1 cocktail

Position the flower in your champagne fluteTo make the cocktail, position a flower in the bottom of a champagne flute. The flowers have little feet of sorts, which makes it easy to stand them up. Take the time to get it centered and standing up (I used two chopsticks to get it upright) so the flower blooms completely. Add a few drops of that beautiful pink syrup from the jar.

Have you ever heard of Saint Patrick’s Day? Do you know that this holiday is popular not only in Ireland but in all over the world?

Seriously, one of the reasons to choose the first Monday of fall for Labor Day celebrations was the rather long time period with no holidays at all, from Independence Day in July to Thanksgiving Day in November. That is more than four months. So, in 1894 the very first September Monday was officially proclaimed an annual federal holiday. However, its history is also tightly connected with workers’ strikes and demonstrations which took place in the late 19th century, right at the height of American Industrial Revolution. Their aim was to affirm the American workers’ rights to safe working conditions and adequate wages. Nowadays we can see clearly that it was successfully achieved despite all the difficulties and obstacles.
