National Drinking with Chickens Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

Kate Richards is the author of "Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour," and the leader of the "Drinking with Chickens" community.

National Drinking with Chickens Day is observed every year on May 23. It was founded by Kate Richards, author of “Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour.” Her speciality is making Instagram-famous concoctions using fresh ingredients from her garden. The farm-to-table/farm-to-glass movement is celebrated on National Drinking with Chickens Day. The day was designed to honour the community that has congregated to the garden happy hour tradition that Kate has established.

The background of National Drinking with Chickens Day

Kate Richards is the author of “Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour,” and the leader of the “Drinking with Chickens” community. She resides in Los Angeles, California, and is a professional blogger, alcoholic, and freelance writer.

In 2016, Richards ascended to prominence on social media due to the popularity of her blog and Instagram profile, which featured cocktail recipes and chickens. Her mixed drinks contain only ingredients grown in her garden. She also consumes all of her cocktails in her garden. She calls it “coming full circle.”

According to Richards, you do not need poultry or a garden to participate in this peculiar community’s tradition; garden enthusiasts are sufficient. Dogs, cats, and other humans are all welcome, and the objective is to take what you’ve grown and use it to create one of her signature cocktails to savour in nature. As her online popularity increased, she generated additional publicity through online interviews and print media. Then, she began compiling a cookbook of her recipes, complete with photographs of her poultry.

Her book, “Drinking with Chickens: Free-Range Cocktails for the Happiest Hour,” was published in 2020. In addition to the “free-range, straight from the garden” cocktail recipes, the book was appealing due to the beautiful and eccentric photographs of the cocktails and chickens. It is possible to contend that the chickens steal the show and have a large social media following.
