We all have that one bottle (or two) sitting on our bar cart, collecting dust. Maybe it was a gift or something you never got around to trying. Whatever the case, it’s time to dust off your bar cart and prepare it for the summer.
The warm weather and new season bring longer days, which means later nights spent with friends and gathering on the patio with a glass of your favorite spirit. If you’re looking to add to your collection but don’t know where to start, give one of these a try.
Between these seven spirits, there is something for everyone. Get ready for warm days and nights with one of these eight summer spirits.
Rancho La Gloria Jalapeno Lime Tequila
There is truly nothing like a spicy marg to kick off the warm weather. If you’re also a lover of the kick, try giving Rancho La Gloria Jalapeno Lime Tequila a try this summer. Sip it neat or craft it into a classic margarita—the choice is yours. It has notes of juicy lime, spicy jalapenos, roasted agave, and the perfect amount of green pepper for a nice hint of spice.
Hendrick’s Flora Adora
This limited-release gin is not only going to look stunning on your bar cart, but it is also an excellent option for those intense, hot days. It has aromas of flowers and a fresh, herbal character that sucks you in. While its juniper and coriander notes are still prominent, you’ll get hints of florals and fruitiness. If you want something refreshing, try it with a club soda and a slice of cucumber.
Collective Arts Rhubarb & Hibiscus Gin
Two things scream summer: fruit and flowers, and this gin contain both. The gin has copious amounts of rhubarb and hibiscus for that juicy and floral taste. The gin is complemented by Collective Arts botanical blend leaving you with a tart and warm ginger finish. Not to mention, the bottle is stunning. The art is created by Curiot of Mexico City, Mexico.
RumHaven Coconut Water
There isn’t anything quite like a rum cocktail in the summer. If you really want a spirit to transport you to a tropical island, RumHaven is the way to go. It’s crafted with real coconut water and pure cane sugar. Using only Caribbean rum, take your summer cocktails to the next level with its refreshing taste. Enjoy it over ice or with a splash of your favorite club soda or juice.
Smirnoff Peach Lemonade
Lemonade is a summer classic, so adding Smirnoff Peach Lemonade to your summer drinks list is a no-brainer. It’s perfect for outdoor events or warm summer nights spent with friends. Its bright flavors of peach work perfectly with your favorite mixer. Give it a try and taste for yourself the fresh and sweet notes this vodka has to offer.
Chinola Passion Fruit Liqeuer
If you are looking for something tart and fruity, here it is. The all-natural liqueur has an aromatic fragrance and taste of raw passion fruit juice. It’s juicy and tropical—ideal for the warm weather. The bright golden, yellow liqueur is perfectly balanced with sweet and tangy notes. Great to be sipped straight up, poured over ice, or shaken into a refreshing cocktail.
Ketel One Botanical Cucumber & Mint
For those who want a refreshing summer beverage without having something fruity or sweet, give this a try. Its crisp taste is sublime for those who appreciate the flavor of cucumbers and herbaceous notes. It’s also a lighter option for those who want to enjoy something tasty without compromising taste. The best part is there are so many ways to enjoy Ketel One Botanicals—mix something up and try it yourself.
