BOTTOMS UP!

What the Stylish are Sipping this Summer

The holidays are upon us, which means there are plenty of occasions to try your hand at whipping up a cocktail, or two. Whether it be a work event or a small gathering at home, you’ll impress the holiday party circuit with your cocktail-making skills. Where to start? Right here. We’ve narrowed it down to 3 tipples raising the bar this summer.

THE TULLAMORE D.E.W TULLY & TONIC

This year, the Tullamore D.E.W Irish Whiskey festive season gift pack includes a very clever mould that assists you in making the perfect ice sphere to serve in your Tullamore D.E.W drink. But why not just use regular ice blocks? Aside from adding an extraordinary touch to your cocktail presentation – the ice-sphere has less surface area than multiple ice blocks causing it to melt slower and not dilute your drink as quickly. The Tully and Tonic presents a cocktail that is a perfectly refreshing drink for balmy South African summer days.

Available in leading liquor stores countrywide and online at Norman Goodfellow’s and Makro.

HENDRICK’S GIN “MIDSUMMER SOLSTICE”

Introducing the delightfully floral Hendrick’s Gin limited-edition “Midsummer Solstice”, inspired by nature’s most vivid bouquets, the carefully curated expression is the first to release from the Master Distiller’s Cabinet of Curiosities at the new Hendrick’s Gin Palace. This innovative expression sees the original Hendrick’s recipe instilled with a secret selection of floral essences that enhances the liquid’s existing botanical bouquet.
The result – an enchantingly floral and exquisitely refreshing gin that blossoms on the palate while remaining unmistakably Hendrick’s. Serve with flair and confidence.
