Hot Summer Specials: Three Ways to Sip Summer

Summer is all about long afternoons by the pool, beach days with friends and refreshing drinks that match the moment. This month's Hot Summer Specials feature three favourites that are perfect for warm-weather sipping, whether you're enjoying a crisp wine cocktail, a refreshing tequila classic or a vibrant vodka creation.

Better yet, they're all available at special prices throughout August while stocks last.

Crisp & Refreshing

Montes Sauvignon Blanc Summer Spritz

Sometimes the best summer cocktails are the simplest. Chile's Montes Sauvignon Blanc brings bright citrus, tropical fruit and crisp acidity, making it the perfect base for a light afternoon spritz that's equally at home poolside or overlooking the beach.

Summer Sauvignon Spritz

• 4 oz Montes Sauvignon Blanc

• 2 oz sparkling water

• Lime wheel

• Fresh mint

Build over ice in a large wine glass, stir gently and garnish with fresh mint and lime.

Bright & Tropical

Teremana Reposado Paloma

Few cocktails capture summer quite like a Paloma. Teremana Reposado adds gentle notes of vanilla and toasted oak to fresh grapefruit and lime, creating a refreshing cocktail that's bright, balanced and effortlessly drinkable.

Reposado Paloma

• 2 oz Teremana Reposado

• 4 oz grapefruit soda

• ½ oz fresh lime juice

• Pinch of sea salt

Build over ice in a highball glass and garnish with a grapefruit wedge.

Fresh & Fruity

Absolut Raspberri Summer Splash

Looking for something colourful? Absolut Raspberri combines natural raspberry flavour with fresh citrus for a vibrant cocktail that's made for sunshine, pool days and weekend gatherings.

Raspberry Summer Splash

• 2 oz Absolut Raspberri
