Garnish with a watermelon slice and a sprig of basil for an extra refreshing touch.


Citrusy Paloma:

This vibrant cocktail will awaken your taste buds and invigorate your senses.

Stir well, then top it off with a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with a grapefruit slice and a sprinkle of salt on the rim for a tangy and refreshing twist.


Summer Berry Sangria:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of summer berries with this vibrant sangria. In a pitcher, combine a mix of fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Add a splash of orange liqueur, a squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of sugar, and a bottle of chilled red wine. Stir well and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve over ice and garnish with a sprig of mint for a refreshing and fruity summer sip.
