The perfect summer cocktails

In summer, hair becomes lighter, complexions darker, days longer and drinks better. Whether it's a relaxing afternoon by the pool, a garden party with friends and family or an evening after work, cocktails make life taste sweeter and lighter. These cocktails will sweeten your day or evening with their delicious flavour and refreshing aroma.

Our three delicious summer cocktails are perfect for enjoying the warm days and keeping you refreshed. And the best thing is that one of these cocktails is also suitable for children. 

Watermelon mojito (non-alcoholic)

This cocktail is ideal for quenching your thirst and capturing the flavour of summer. The watermelon makes it a perfect cocktail for children and with its bright colour, it is perfect for welcoming the summer.

You will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups fresh watermelon, diced
- A handful of fresh mint leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
- Sparkling water
- Ice cubes

Preparation:

To start, puree the watermelon in a blender or with a hand blender until it has a smooth consistency. Our tip: Lightly press the mint leaves in a glass to release the aroma and enhance the flavour of the mint. Now add the watermelon puree, lime juice and maple syrup and stir well. The last step is to add the ice cubes to the glasses and fill them up with sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime. Now serve and enjoy! 

The refreshing "Gin Basil Smash"

The "Gin Basil Smash" is a refreshing cocktail that is perfect for warm summer days. With the combination of fresh basil, lemon juice and gin, this cocktail conjures up a pleasant balance of sweetness and acidity.

Pour the cocktail through a strainer into a glass filled with ice and garnish the "Gin Basil Smash" with a few fresh basil leaves.
Now the cocktail is ready to enjoy and will hopefully give you summer vibes.

The fruity "Mango Mojito"

The "Mango Mojito" is a tropical variation on the classic mojito. With the delicious taste of fresh mango and mint, this cocktail is a real treat for anyone who loves fruity flavours.
