It’s no secret that the warmest-and for many, the most beloved-season of the year goes hand in hand with colorful drinks. Because really, what is summer without a cocktail in hand?
Whether you’re still in your usual daily routine, surrounded by the scorching city streets, or have already sailed into that relaxed, carefree holiday state of mind, we bring you great news: cocktails made with aromatic Arete Puro gin can be the perfect companion to lift your spirits and create unforgettable summer memories.
Before we reveal two irresistibly delicious recipes that you can prepare at home quickly and easily, let’s talk about why cocktails are the key ingredient to any great gathering.
Cocktails can be as lavish as the Titanic, but this time they’re stepping in as icebreakers-encouraging conversation and the creation of unforgettable shared moments.
