Although most food themes are American-based celebrations, it has become popular for other countries of the World to adopt them for a day.

On May 21, National Strawberries and Cream Day is celebrated. This fruity, delightful dessert can be served in a variety of different ways and can be included in breakfast, as a dessert and even as a cocktail.

Food and Beverage Manager Raven Naicker of Royal Palm Hotel is celebrating this theme day with a National Strawberries and Cream Day inspired cocktail, he calls: “Pink Lady”.

With Mother’s Day being celebrated on May 13, this recipe can also be used to treat your mom.
