World Cocktail Day but with pins

Shake up your style with iheartbadges this World Cocktail Day!

Raise a glass because today is World Cocktail Day! Celebrated annually on May 13th, this day is all about appreciating the delightful world of, yes you guessed it – cocktails.

The origins of this boozy celebration stretches back over 200 years. According to cocktail folklore, the first definition of the word “cocktail” appeared in an 1806 New York newspaper, The Balance and Columbian Repository, in response to a reader’s question. The definition described a cocktail as a “stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters.”
