AND GET READY TO CREATE THE PRETTIEST COCKTAILS UNDER THE SUN

PALOMA

COUNTRY BREEZE

TONIC HERBS

MELON MARGARITA

AMARETTO SOUR

M-m-m-my Paloma

The fact that this spirit is having a real big moment should not come as a surprise. If it does, here’s your chance to look like you’re in the know by serving the drink at your next cocktail hour. Full of nostalgia, sunshine and simplicity, the Paloma hits exactly the right note when looking for a little kick, plenty of freshness and just enough bitterness. 

Cool as a strawberry

Summer equals frozen drinks, in this case a frozen alcoholic drink. The mix of strawberries and coconut makes you feel like you’re on an island, live from your backyard chaise. The recipe calls for more tools and patience, but this is so delicious you’ll forget all about it at first sip.

Garden party

This one may not look very appealing, but its freshness and originality deserve a shot. Serve it after a generous barbecue to benefit from its possible digestive properties, and garnish with some of your garden accomplishments, like mint or rosemary.

Margarita, but make it melon

It’s likely we had you at margarita, but a pink and watermelon version? Common. Plus, it literally has a little kick thanks to the jalapeno. Ten bucks says you’re already getting the mixer.

Amaretto on the low

The classic Amaretto Sour is making a comeback this year and carving out a place alongside other hits on the cocktail menu of notable bars. Here we propose a (very) low alcohol version, made with 0.5% almond liqueur. How about a refill before you go?
