Summers may usually be for Rosé and Shandy, but this year it’s all about the botanical cocktails. Simplify the mixology process and use botanical liquor for your next seasonal drink — easily cutting out at least three ingredients from a lounge cocktail.
Upgrade your vodka soda to be summer ready with Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit and Rose. The light botanical vodka is on the zesty side, but with a kick of zest from the grapefruit.
If rose isn’t your thing, the Peach and Orange Blossom is on the sweeter side with more fruity flavors than herbal.
For those more into clean and fresh herbal flavors, the Cucumber Mint Ketel One is a refreshing kick of botanic flavor. Mix any of Ketel One’s botanical flavors with soda water for a light, refreshing summer cocktail.
Organic rye spirit Square One Botanical is a 90-proof blend of rose, pear, lavender, lemon, chamomile, rosemary, coriander and infused citrus peel. Enjoy the subtle blend of floral and fruit flavors over ice or with trusty soda.
Gin connoisseurs, have no fear, Hendricks’s is already infused with cucumber and rose. Check out the long list of suggested recipes for a Gatsby-esque summer cocktail.
