World Cocktail Day, celebrated on 13 May annually, marks the date that the word cocktail was first published. In 1806 a New York newspaper, Balance and Columbian Repository, published the famous line “Cock-tail, then, is a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters.”
