International Translation Day and Cocktail Names

September 30 is International Translation Day. Cocktail menus are a translation problem: daiquiri, old fashioned, negroni, and 'premium whisky' mean different things in Mumbai, Madrid, and Manila. Indian bars often keep English names and local twists, such as kokum, palmyra, or Old Monk in place of Caribbean rum. The drink is global. The dry-day clock on the wall is local.
