World Cocktail Day


World Cocktail Day takes place on May 13th every year, giving us a reason to raise our glasses and celebrate the art of mixology. Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the world of mixed drinks, this day is for you. Mark your calendars because the fun happens annually on this date!

This special day commemorates the first definition of the word “cocktail” in 1806, appearing in The Balance and Columbian Repository. It’s a celebration of creativity, taste, and the joy of sharing a well-crafted drink with friends. From classic concoctions like the Martini and Mojito to innovative blends dreamed up by bartenders around the world, cocktails bring people together in cheers and camaraderie.
