Spring Into Entertaining

It’s time! Invite your friends, throw on some food and get the drinks happening.

What are you in the mood for? Drinks on Saturday, Sunday brunch, or a casual BBQ? It’s easy to transform your Spring gathering into something memorable.

Don’t Forget The Ice

Ice is often overlooked when it comes to entertaining, but it’s one of the simplest ways to amp up drinks at home and get everyone talking.

Load up your ice trays well in advance so you’ve got plenty on hand when guests arrive.

And don’t just freeze water in DrinksPlinks ice trays. Add edible petals, berries, citrus or herbs to complement the drinks you’re serving.

A Recipe For A Refreshing Spring Sip

We love this watermelon and lychee zero alc mocktail. It’s definitely giving Spring vibes and is super refreshing. Perfect for brunch, lunch and afternoon drinks. [Add 45ml of gin to each glass to turn this mocktail into a cocktail.]

Watermelon & Lycee Refresher
Serves 4

Ingredients
2 limes
12 fresh lychees, peeled and destoned (or use canned lychees)
1L coconut water, chilled
200g watermelon, cut into small chunks
3 cups chilled soda water [or lemonade if you like your drinks sweeter]
Sprigs of fresh mint to garnish

We froze chunks of watermelon in our Letter W ice tray for WOW factor.

Method
Juice the limes. Place lime juice and lychees in a large jug. Using a muddler or wooden spoon to mash lychees just a little, to release some juice.

Stir in coconut water.
Divide watermelon chunks among 4 x glasses
[Add gin if you’re using it]
Add Letter W ice cubes
Divide the lychee mix among the glasses. Top up each glass with soda [or lemonade] and garnish with fresh mint.

Cheers to Spring. 🧊
