Here are 5 cocktails you need to make this long weekend
Campari Negroni ‘Ready to Enjoy‘
If you love Negroni’s this ready-to-drink is ideal for your sipping pleasure. The Negroni was invented in Florence in 1919 by Count Negroni and was created by chance when the Count asked the barman to add a touch of gin rather than soda to his Americano. The recipe combines Campari – the defining ingredient, with London Dry Gin and Cinzano Sweet Red Vermouth. To create, simply pour over ice in a rock tumbler glass, stir and garnish with a slice of orange. Serve as an aperitivo, during dinner, lakeside, poolside, or as a great party starter – this bottle is designed to make four perfect serves.
Smirnoff Ice Pink Lemonade
Spring and Summer always call for pink lemonade. Take your lemonade stand up a notch by serving Smirnoff Ice Pink Lemonade. Serve over ice, or use this as a part of your pink sangria recipe for friends while celebrating!
