RESIDENTS at a Basingstoke care home celebrated World Cocktail Day which took place earlier this month. 

People at Ashcombe House, in Worting Road, celebrated by creating their own mocktails, including Fruity Sunrise, Non Alcoholic Sangria and Virgin Mojitos.

The cocktails were personally delivered to each resident on a cocktail trolley. The global celebration marks the recorded definition of a cocktail in 1806.
