Summer in Australia is days of sunshine, hot barbecues with friends and swimming in the ocean. These moments are made even more fantastic with the help of the right drinks that will make the activity that was a regular afternoon to be recalled. In case you are organizing your upcoming outdoor event, it is all about the kind of spirits you will use considering the weather.
We know what Australians desire when it gets hot at BoozeTime. Whether it is refreshing cocktails by the pool or easy-sipping drinks at the beach, we have all of it in spirits that you will need to ensure that you have good times all through the summer long.
Rum for Tropical Vibes
None of the things symbolise the summer season the way rum does. It is ideal for drinking during hot weather because it is naturally sweet, and can be used in a variety of ways. Pour fresh lime juice, mint, and soda water into a mix white rum to make a classic mojito, and it will make you feel cooler than cold. Bacardi comes with that kind of clean crisp profile that suits well in tropical cocktails.
In case of a more personality-added drink, spiced rum warms and gives a flavor to your beverages. The Bundaberg range features Australian rum making at its best, and its flavours are the easiest way to have a glass of cola or ginger beer and enjoy the sophisticated flavour of the drink.
Gin for Sophisticated refreshments
The summer entertaining drink has been taken by Gin and it is not in vain. It is lively when used in its botanical notes with tonic water, cucumber and squeeze of citrus. Getting a classic gin and tonic is difficult to resist when you are sitting in the backyard after spending some time in the sun.
Bombay Sapphire gives those juniper-crisp flavours that spell out a good gin experience. To change things, have a look at some flavoured gin, such as flavoured gin, that puts fruits and herbs into the mix. These are especially effective in punch bowls at bigger parties, where you can prepare cocktails in advance and go out and have fun.
Vodka for Clean, Versatile Cocktails
Need a spirit that does not compete with other tastes, vodka is the way to go. This is neutral in nature, therefore the ideal base of summer beverages that are fruit forward. Blend it with watermelon juice, smash some fresh berries or stick to an old standard, vodka soda and lime.
Both Grey Goose and Absolut have that smooth, high-quality that makes any cocktail high-quality. Having an easy time on your way to the beach? Take a look at pre-mixed vodka so that you do not have to carry several ingredients with you.
Whisky for Evening BBQs
Although whisky may not be the first spirit that comes to mind when one thinks about summer it has a definite place at BBQs. With the fall of the sun and the cold weather the evening is made deeper and sophisticated with the aid of the whisky. Serve it over ice or stirred in a whisky sour with fresh lemon juice and a pour of sugar.
The approachable ones include Jim Beam and Jack Daniels which would best suit grilled meat and smoky flavours. To the local seekers, there is Australian whisky which exhibits the quality craftsmanship of what is being made right here at home.
Tequila for Fiesta Feels
The day at the beach requires tequila. Tequila is something that adds that celebratory touch to any party whether you are making margaritas in salt-rimmed glasses or shooting it with lime and salt. Blanco tequila can be used in cocktails and reposado can be used in sipping and provides a little more complexity.
A paloma of tequila and fresh grapefruit with a splash of soda is the best way to refresh. The citrus aromas go well with the agave and give the impression of a summer drink in a glass.
Convenience with Ready to go options
Comfort is important when you are dealing with a crowd. Pre-mixed rum choices also allow you to pick and go without compromising on quality. These are the pre-cooked options that are great in case you are headed to the beach and have few space options and you do not wish to carry a lot of weight.
