Unplanned Genius: A Toast to Accidental Cocktail Creations
Some of the world's greatest inventions are products of accidental ingenuity and the art of cocktails is no exception. This was a gastronomic discovery of Melissa Mohle, who while working a shift at Brooklyn's bar, The Holler, made a delightful blunder. When a customer ordered a simple Daiquiri with Flor de Caña rum, she mistakened it with a request for a Daiquiri crowned with a float of Cognac. Unsurprisingly, the error produced an unexpectedly delicious concoction.

It has been argued that a key issue with how this change has been implemented is the lack of notice the government gave to the women affected, impacting on their ability to plan for retirement.
