Vacation Cocktail (Retired)

This tiny cup features straw, sliced fruit and a decorative umbrella. Cocktail enthusiasts debate over the origins of the cocktail umbrella. They are a way to keep the drinks cool under the sun! They were to keep the alcohol from evaporating in hot climates! No, they don't have a function; they were added to drinks in the 1930's as a way of attracting female customers! Whatever theory you appreciate most, the tiny umbrellas must be there to make us smile. Cheers!
