DOTD - Drink Of The Day

DOTD For Tuesday, November 25, 2025

A Simple & Sweet Drink For The Holiday Week

Today’s DOTD - Drink Of The Day - is a B-52 shot, inspired by National Parfait Day!

National Parfait Day gives us just that - a shot of energy - with a side of history to sweeten the deal. This culinary celebration takes place every November 25th, paying homage to a dessert that has charmed taste buds since the late 19th century.

The word “parfait” itself means “perfect” in French, a fitting description for this layered delight traditionally made of fruit, ice cream, and a creamy topping. While the origins of National Parfait Day are a bit murky, and are believed to have been whipped up by food lovers or savvy marketers in the early 21st century, the parfait desert itself was first whipped up in France in the 1890s.

From social media feeds filled with mouth-watering creations to special deals at eateries, this day has become a sweet spot on the calendar for dessert aficionados across the United States.

Because this is a bar though, instead of a dessert, we’ve got a sweet Drink Of The Day for you today, the layered shot, the B-52!
