Blessed with tropical bounties of watermelon, mangoes and litchi, summer fruits are a great way to incorporate more flavour and seasonality in your drinks. Enjoy creative and well-made cocktails while you let your hair down over the weekend, by making the most of fresh produce.
Preserve some of the flavour and texture of your fruit by muddling it gently to release its juices and strain as per preference.
Replace ice cubes with frozen chunks of watermelon or mango in a daiquiri or alcohol-spiked slushie to cool off during the summer.
Infuse your homemade simple syrup with the flavours of the season, by getting deep, fruity flavours in your drink.
Quit buying store-bought bottles of fruit liqueur and make some on your own, for an inexpensive but amply delicious option.
Garnishing your cocktails with fresh fruit, citrus slices or twists adds visual appeal, a pop of colour and sweetness.
Experiment with freshly squeezed fruit juices to create refreshing summer cocktails with vibrant flavours and elevate your drink to the next level.
