Gone are the days of beige gin & tonic and flat sangria. This season, we're breaking out the fancy glasses and daring to make eye-popping drinks! Think:
🍉 Mojito watermelon & basil
🍍 Piña colada revisited with sparkling coconut milk
🍑 White sangria with peaches & rosemary
🌈 Rainbow cocktail with natural fruit juice & vodka
The key? Fresh ingredients, original ice cubes (hello, frozen fruit!) & a touch of craziness in the colors.
3D cocktail bombs: your new obsession!
These little marvels will be all the rage this summer! ✨ Drop them into a glass of gin or sangria, and BOUM: an explosion of flavors, bubbles & tropical aromas! Available in herbaceous gin-tonic (Apricot & Basil or Peach & Thyme) & floral + fruity sangria (Guava & Hibiscus or Lychee & Dragon Fruit).
Easy to use, zero waste & wow effect guaranteed. It's literally like fireworks in your glass!
Napkin origami: 3 creative tips
Your new summer napkins, lively & punchy to perfection, deserve more than a simple fold in half. Here are 3 easy origami ideas to enhance your aperitif table:
The pretty envelope 💌
The model to place on a plate! It's reminiscent of gardens in bloom - ideal for a light & poetic vibe.
The chic roll with rustic ring 🪻
Simply roll the napkin over itself & slip on a little rope or a sprig of dried lavender. Simple, yet elegant.
The butterfly 🦋
Place it on a glass or in the center of the table. Instant success!
Add a mini label with your guests' names for an even more adorable personalized effect! In short, whether it's in a glass or on the table, we're celebrating summer with lots of color & little touches. Cheers to that! 🍹🌞
