We associate sweet things with this holiday celebrated by adults and children on May 13. This bright spring extravaganza is called National Fruit Cocktail Day and refers to drinks and light salads made from juicy fruits. Treats can be useful and harmful, depending on the amount of sugar added to the cocktail and the individual amount of carbs a person can afford to ingest. No need to talk about boring things. It is better to enjoy the palette of juicy flavors.
The History
Fruit cocktail in a can first appeared in American stores in 1893. It was made from fruits and had an unattractive appearance. Herbert Gray, who presented his creation in 1930, is called the creator of the natural fruit cocktail. This culinary feat was officially recognized in 1958.
How to take part
Making a cocktail is simple: buy your favorite fruits, then cut and mix. There is no single recipe.
- Go on a picnic with a fruit dish in the basket. Enjoy a meal in nature in pleasant company.
- Children love drinks made from fruit mixture.
- Adults on holiday enjoy the taste of soft drinks and brandy liqueurs, with the addition of some fruit. The unusually mild taste is sweet, fresh, and somewhat spicy.
Fruit cocktail is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, improving one’s immune system. The addition of thick syrup reduces its beneficial properties.
