Today's Celebrations — July 11: National 7-Eleven Day & National Mojito Day
Quick answer: July 11 celebrates National 7-Eleven Day and National Mojito Day, an icy convenience store classic paired with a refreshing rum cocktail.
One day, one Slurpee, one mojito, zero reasons to say no to either.
National 7-Eleven Day
National 7-Eleven Day lands every July 11, a date the convenience store chain leaned into since it matches its own name. The day usually centers on the Slurpee, which debuted in 1966 after 7-Eleven modified an existing icy drink machine and gave the frozen treat its now iconic name and sound.
Fun fact: the name Slurpee was inspired by the actual slurping sound the drink makes, which means an entire product line was named after a noise your mother told you to stop making at the table.
And a story worth a laugh: ask anyone who has power walked a Slurpee home in July heat about the great melted lid gamble, that split second decision between drinking faster or accepting a sticky car seat, is basically a national pastime of its own.
Ways to celebrate:
- Grab a Slurpee in whatever flavor sounds the most questionable
- Mix two flavors together, because that is half the fun
- Pick up a quick snack run and call it a celebration
National Mojito Day
National Mojito Day celebrates the classic Cuban cocktail built from rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda water. The drink's exact origins are debated, but it has been a warm weather staple for generations, prized for being refreshing without being overly sweet.
Fun fact: the mojito's name likely comes from the Spanish word mojo, meaning a bit of sauce or flavor, which explains a lot about why one glass is never quite enough.
And a story worth a laugh: nearly everyone who has ever made a mojito at home has learned the hard way that muddling mint is not the same as demolishing it, and that a blender is not a substitute for a muddler, no matter how confident you feel at the time.
Ways to celebrate:
- Make one at home with fresh mint and lime
- Order one somewhere with a good patio
- Try a virgin version if you are skipping the rum
