Today’s DOTD - Drink Of The Day - is A Flipping Good Cocktail inspired by World Kindness Day!

Amelia Earheart once said that ‘A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions’, and we’re keeping that at the forefront this November 13th, World Kindness Day

.Founded in 1998, World Kindness Day is observed across the globe and serves to promote acts of kindness on both small and large scales. Since the day’s creation by the World Kindness Movement, the aim has been to build a kinder and more compassionate world.

Did you know there are actually scientific benefits to being kind? Doing something kind, or even witnessing an act of kindness, produces oxytocin (aka the love hormone), simultaneously lowering blood pressure and improving heart health. Harvard Business School also conducted research in 2010 which concluded that those who practised altruism were the happiest overall, with kindness lighting up the brain’s pleasure and reward centers.

Why not celebrate the day yourself? Pay for someone else’s coffee, donate to your favorite charity, pay a stranger a compliment - or buy a drink for someone who could use it. You’ll feel great for doing it - and may we recommend today’s Drink Of The Day, the Flipping Good Cocktail.
