Not long ago, surviving summer meant a pool day and an AC unit. These days the season has a drinks list of its own. The rule with all of these? Serve them properly cold - a lukewarm white is a wasted white.
Refreshing whites, chilled hard
On a scorching day nothing resets the system like a cold glass of white wine. Light, crisp and easy-going - the kind of bottle that makes an ordinary Tuesday feel like a holiday.
“The good news is that the best summer drinks do not require a fancy bar or a cocktail-making degree - just a few good bottles, plenty of ice, and a fridge doing its job.”
Bubbles make everything better
There is something about a glass of something sparkling that instantly lifts the mood - no special occasion required. Keep one bottle cold at all times and summer plans make themselves.
