Drinks & Cocktail Calendar
An editorial calendar distinguishing fixed, movable and informal observances.
01
Calendar scope
Most dates are industry or social traditions, not public holidays or encouragement to drink. National names are not universal global observances. Plan alcohol-free choices and legal-age controls.
02
Fixed dates
National labels below indicate common US usage, not official government holidays.
| 22 February | Margarita Day | Informal / US |
| 24 March | Cocktail Day | Informal / US |
| 13 May | World Cocktail Day | Linked to the 1806 definition |
| 19 June | Martini Day | Informal / US |
