Every year, World Cocktail Day is observed on May 13th. The day is dedicated to a drink that transcends borders, bringing people together in celebration and joy. Renowned for their ability to enhance social gatherings and create memorable experiences, cocktails are beloved all around the world.
World Cocktail Day History
World Cocktail Day originated in 1806, when the Balance and Columbian Repository coined the term "cocktail." The 1930s saw the emergence of the Rainbow Room in New York, a high-end club where the elite people used to celebrate in style with cocktails. In 1987, the Rainbow Room was revived by Dale DeGroff, introducing a pre-prohibition cocktail list that inspired a modern mixing revolution.
