Oysters and a martini on a table with a view overlooking the ocean

When will National Oysters & Martinis Day be celebrated? April 13th of each calendar year.

What is National Oysters & Martinis Day? Oysters and martinis are both great on their own but you should never have one without the other! This pairing is so well respected that the Savoy Hotel in London offers an “oyster and martini” experience that is very well known – importing fresh oysters and offering premium martinis to their guests.

Why was National Oysters & Martinis Day created? The best way to celebrate this day is combining the greatest food and cocktail pairing (with April being the traditional end of oyster season)! Spirits tend to intensify the flavor of oysters and also serve as a palate cleanser. A perfectly dressed oyster is a martinis best friend – a wonderful pairing of drink and food.

Who created this day? This day was created by Michael and Kathy Wills in 2023.
