When was the last time you took the time to enjoy your favorite beverage? There’s no better time than today to do it! It’s National Beverage Day, a holiday observed every year on May 6th. Celebrate it the right way by following any one or more of these steps:

Step One: Sit back and relax  

Take a few minutes out of your busy day to make sure you're well hydrated. Water is a classic, but take it up a notch by infusing it with your favorite fruit like lemons, strawberries, or watermelon. There are many benefits to infused water including like appetite control, blood sugar regulation, and even heartburn prevention.

Step Two: Craft your favorite drink or create something new

Unleash your inner barista by trying that non-alcoholic drink recipe you saw on Youtube, or concocting that alcoholic drink you always make for your friends. There’s no right or wrong way. The most important thing is that you’re taking the time to be creative with your blender!

Step Three: Order a drink 

If convenience is needed to fit your busy schedule then simply order a drink from a specialty beverage shop like Starbucks or Lollicup Fresh. You can even have it delivered to your home through food delivery services like UberEats, Doordash, or Postmates. The choice is all yours!

Step Four: Observe this year round 

Take it a step further and observe this year round.  A nicely, crafted beverage is a wonderful treat that everyone around the world can enjoy everyday on any day! Whether it’s your grandmother’s homemade hot chocolate, or your local cafe’s ice-cold coffee, specialty drinks are there for your enjoyment... so enjoy!

Happy National Beverage Day!
