This unofficial holiday is celebrated annually on May 6th and is sometimes referred to as National Beverage Day in the United States. The first mentions of it date back to 1921, although it was better known then as Bottled Soda Day.
Nowadays, people tend to strive for a healthier lifestyle, drinking clean water and more nutritious drinks rather than sweet soda, which is why the day has gradually become a celebration of different beverages. Beverage Day is a good excuse to treat yourself to some new, healthy, and delicious recipe, prepare your favorite drink and enjoy it in good company or by yourself.
A good drink can give you energy after a long, exhausting day. It can also make a long, boring meal more interesting and faster, it can bring two strangers together and make a party more fun. A cup of good, aromatic tea, hot chocolate or cocoa, soulfully brewed coffee, tasty and healthy smoothie or a glass of lemonade - Beverage Day gives you a great excuse to indulge in what you like.
