Summer Drinks Ideas to Serve NOW!

Summer drinks over ice or flowing freely from deliciously full carafes is one of life’s great pleasures. Here are our summer drinks ideas for you to enjoy. They all serve beautifully from any Emma Britton glassware!

1. The Perfect Pour, simple and delicious and you can serve it two ways.

• 25ml NORTH42 Gin
• Ice Cubes
• Slice of dehydrated orange or orange peel
• 200 ml of tonic water OR ginger ale per serving, depending on preference
• Glassware – Botanical Gin Tumbler

2. You can’t go wrong with freshly squeezed, artisan juices or homemade lemonade. Coat the rim of your glasses in lemon and dip in sugar to add the fun factor. Make them pop with coloured paper straws or edible flowers. Served in Silver Birch Tumbler Glasses

3. When it comes to simple refreshment, hit the iced water. These Meadow and Floral Hi Balls are filled with Devonia spring water, bottled in heart of Devon and produced with the environment as first priority. Give it a herbal twist like Jan @edible_flowers did. The gorgeous and simple styling is all thanks to her.

We no longer sells the Meadow Hi Balls Jan made these drinks in but do have a gorgeous Exotic Floral design now.

4.Keep it classic with Pimms. When it looks as beautiful as this, it’s hard to disagree. Try making ice cubes with slices of cucumber or herbs for an added twist. Hi Balls or Tumblers are great for Pimms.

…in fact, lots of customers are sharing their Pimms full Carafes recently, must be the season!

This one looks packed full of goodness in the Meadow Carafe and really shows off the meadow flowers, damselflies and butterflies in the design.

5. Secret Garden Distillery has some incredible summer drinks ideas, take their Apothecary Rose Gin & Tonic for starters. Smooth gin that is as refreshing as it is beautiful; pair with tonic and ice. Try in the Exotic Floral Hi Ball.

6. Or try a Blood Orange Spritz using their Orange Blossom Gin, finished with a wedge of Blood Orange and sprig of Thyme.  Try in the Exotic Floral Hi Ball.

7. If you love the lightness of sparkling wine then San Martino’s Rose Lambrusco is a delicious choice. Serve in Silver Birch Wine Glasses.

8. Franklin & Sons Elderflower Tonic with Cucumber is also pretty nice. You can also use it to give summer favourites like ‘Gin-Fizz’ a twist with this. Try in an Emma Britton Tumbler.
