As temperatures continue to rise this summer, there’s only one thing to do: take your hot weather happy hour outdoors and continue your cocktail sipping poolside.
As we make our way through July and August, Brockmans Gin (SRP $34.99) has a few cocktails perfect for enjoying alfresco and beating the heat:
BROCKMANS FLORADORA: Tart passionfruit and slightly sweet melon bring a tropical twist to cocktails for a crowd and solo sun-bathing.
BROCKMANS SUMMER NEGRONI: A perfect summertime pour for relaxing poolside, Brockmans’ refreshing take on the Negroni features smooth Antica Formula, bittersweet Aperol and ripe raspberries.
BROCKMANS AVIATION: Combining Brockmans’ berry-forward botanical blend with bright lemon acidity and Crème de Violette, nothing beats this ice cold Aviation on hot summer days and nights.
Cheers!
