Putting
SUN SHINE in a
GLASS
Jane Ryan singles out the people behind our favourite sunshine spirits and serves
S
unshine isn’t a flavour. It isn’t a word you’ll find on the back of booze bottles under the tasting notes or one that will score you points on a wine and spirits exam. But it is a word we can associate with taste because it evokes a feeling, a mix of all our senses that comes out as bubbly, fresh, bright, ripe and happy. Sunshine is good-time drinking. It’s holiday vibes even when the rain is pounding on the bar roof and Ubers are surging. If you’re sipping on a Piña Colada, chances are the rain just looks like something fun to get caught in anyway, and that’s what we mean about sunshine in a glass. So, here’s a rundown of our favourite luminous people and the holiday they deliver in drinks, spirits and attitude.
