As autumn approaches and days grow shorter, it’s time to make the most of remaining summer evenings with the perfect warm-weather cocktails from Brockmans Gin.
From your Labor Day cocktail menu to simply toasting the last of the summer sun, Brockmans has you covered with the perfect serve and a refreshing twist on a classic: the Brockmans and Tonic balances aromatic botanicals with bright grapefruit peel and subtly sweet blueberries.
A new-style, intensely smooth gin like no other, Brockmans (SRP $34.99) is made with unique botanicals sourced from around the world – pairing traditional gin flavors with softer notes of citrus, blueberry and blackberry.
Cheers!
