The season for sun-drenched sessions is in full-swing. Whether you've planned a romantic picnic with your special someone or an arvo backyard session with your roommates, you're going to want to make sure your tipple of choice is a stand-out serve.
We recently got our hands on the Bombay Bramble, a bold gin naturally flavoured with berries, set to have the nation falling in love at first sip this season.
Taking the guesswork out of your spring serves, you don't have to be a mixologist to create a refreshing cocktail at home. We've done the hard work and tried and tested three recipes that are sure to satisfy.
Bombay Bramble Spritz

- 10ml St Germain Elderflower Liqueur
- 20ml Fresh lemon juice
- 70ml Capi grapefruit soda

Method

Clover Club
A swoon-worthy sip for your next date night, the Clover Club is the perfect wingman to keep vibes high and the romantic feels flowing. Impress with your mixologist skills with this easy cocktail creation, sure to hit the sweet spot.

- 30ml Fresh lemon juice
- 20ml Sugar syrup
