Hard Seltzer Summer Cocktails

Now that things are finally starting to heat up, and the great British Summer gives us the opportunity to normalize daytime drinking (otherwise known as the humble picnic), we’ve been getting creative with our hard seltzers, to show you some great at-home cocktails you can make to impress your guests.

It turns our Long Shot Hard Seltzers (or spiked seltzers for our friends across the pond) can actually make a pretty decent mixer in your favourite cocktails, using all the classic ingredients you’ll probably have knocking around at home anyway.

Of course our alcoholic sparkling waters are ready to drink straight from the can, but if you’re looking for something different than your usual G&T next time, why not try whipping up a few of these recipes and make a low calorie alcoholic drink to really turn some heads at the next BBQ.
