This fritz-limo that Supersoda sent us surely is summer in bottle. Not only does it taste of apple, elderflower and cherry, but it also has the most gorgeous ruby-red colour, screaming to be used in cocktails!

As we had some strawberries left over, we thought we should make a strawberry-coloured drink. The pink gin from Gibson's was an obvious choice for base-spirit as it actually tastes strawberry! We like that it is still not overly sweet despite being a pink gin, and it's a great base for those summery drinks.

We did want a bitter element as well, and in keeping with the ruby red theme Campari was a no-brainer. Some dashes of rhubarb bitters finalized the whole creation in a delicious way.

The drink turned out really fresh and fruity. This is the definition of a summer-sipper!

The Importance of Ice
Why clear ice makes cocktails more beautiful.

The Importance of Ice

When it comes to crafting exceptional cocktails, every detail matters—and ice is no exception. Clear ice has become a hallmark of professional mixology, elevating drinks in both aesthetics and functionality. Unlike cloudy ice, clear ice is free of impurities and air bubbles, offering a pristine, glass-like appearance that enhances the visual appeal of any cocktail. But it's not just about looks.
