Strawberries, Cocktails & More: What to Eat & Drink This May

May is full of foodie fun! 🍓 From truffles and strawberries to Whiskey Day and Cocktail Day, there’s something delicious to celebrate every day!

May is a month of indulgence, celebration, and a little bit of sweetness! 🍓 With National Strawberry Month (yeah, you are right, National Strawberry Day was on February 27th!) in full swing, it’s the perfect time to enjoy juicy berries in everything from cakes to spritzers.

And if you need an excuse to get creative in the kitchen, World Baking Day has you covered—whip up something warm, golden, and delicious!

Of course, no celebration would be complete without a toast, and World Cocktail Day offers the perfect opportunity to raise a glass.

Whether you’re sipping, baking, or savoring, May is packed with delicious ways to celebrate!
