MARTINI, a brand synonymous with everyday celebrations for over 150 years, is the perfect accompaniment to any summer moment. Check out some fun ways to incorporate MARTINI cocktails into your summer – whether you’re at a wedding, shower, BBQ or al fresco gathering:
· Crisp, dry and aromatic, MARTINI Prosecco goes great in sangria. Try serving it alongside an appetizer spread of grilled vegetables, caprese salad, or antipasto.
· The Bellini was meant for more than just brunch; try serving this authentically Italian cocktail during your bridal shower or engagement party.
· MARTINI Rosé is a refreshing, slightly sweet wine that can be incorporated into drinks like the Sparkling Rose Lemonade. Perfect for a sun-filled picnic with everything from smoked salmon to quiche.
· Finally, MARTINI Asti has a natural sweetness that makes it the ideal companion to any summer festivity. Try pairing it with a cool summer dessert like fresh berries.
