National Fruit Cocktail Day — 13 May

The term fruit cocktail conjures up childhood memories of finding a sweet surprise at the bottom of your sack lunch, but there’s so much more to this spring and summer food favorite. From its origins as a heavy, purely unwholesome aperitif of the American south to the trendy summer salads we see today, this confectionary concoction has rightfully earned a day of celebration. Mark your calendars for May 13, and join us for National Fruit Cocktail Day!
