Daily Holidays - July 10

National Piña Colada Day The Pina Colada has a long and noble history, both as a mixological standard, and as the heart of a song about not giving up on love, just because you think it’s gotten stale. The name for the drink comes from the basis of its creation, Piña meaning “Pineapple” and Colada meaning “Strained.” This drink is a delicious mix of all the things that speak to the Caribbean and tropical locales, with the pineapple juice mixed together with a rich coconut cream, spiked up with just a bit of white rum into the mix. Is there anything that speaks more of warm white sand beaches and beautiful azure skies than a drink that was born on those same shores? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pina-colada-day/

Don't Step On A Bee Day Don’t Step On A Bee Day is an important reminder that the fate of the common bee lies in the balance – with bee numbers in some countries having halved in the last decade with no apparent cause, it’s vital that we take care to maintain bee populations, pollination and honey production. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/dont-step-on-a-bee-day/

Teddy Bears' Picnic Day It’s a wonderful day for a stroll in the woods! Grab your favourite stuffed toy, a hamper of goodies, and set off for Teddy Bear Picnic Day! Why not arrange an outing with friends and family, and to enjoy the summer sun, fun and games, and creativity with your favourite toys? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/teddy-bear-picnic-day/

I played it in high school band. I also like drinking a Piña Colada with a shot of Chambord in it as a kicker.
