GIN

Summertime = gin time. CGA data demonstrates that gin grows its share of total spirit sales over the sunnier months. Celebrate World Gin Day on 10 June with an exclusive menu – think a range of your best-selling G&Ts with a couple of premium options thrown in. Encourage higher spend with gin cocktails.

Spritzes are hugely popular with 77% of consumers choose them at least occasionally. So jump on the trend and give it a twist – instead of traditional bitters, use gin. Garnish with fresh fruit to give that Instagrammable look!

Apple and Berry Spritz

Ingredients

• 50ml Whitley Neill Apple & Red Berries Gin

• 50ml prosecco

• 25ml soda water or lemonade

• Fresh berries, to garnish

Method

Add gin to a glass over ice, pour in prosecco before topping with lemonade or soda water. Stir through the berries.

Wine

Whites and rosés tend to be the go-tos for warm days and nights – try Cono Sur Bicicleta Sauvignon Blanc Blush with summer salads. Or showcase a new trend – the frosé. Blend rosé with raspberries then sieve. Add sugar syrup for a sweeter taste. Pour into a container and freeze for 3-4 hours until slushy. Serve by the glass or as a pre-ordered pitcher.
