1. Sunset Refresher: Sip Your Way to a Summer Sunset

Let’s start with the Sunset Refresher, a cocktail that perfectly captures the vibrant colours of a summer sunset. This drink is like a spectacular end-of-day light show in a glass, blending gin, Campari, and grapefruit juice for a zesty and refreshing base. A hint of lime juice adds just the right amount of tang, while crème de menthe brings a cool, unexpected twist—like a refreshing breeze on a hot day. A dash of sugar syrup ties everything together, making this cocktail as sweet and satisfying as watching the sun dip below the horizon. If summer had an encore, this would be it!

2. Citrus Serenade: A Symphony of Citrus

Next up is the Citrus Serenade, a cocktail that hits all the right notes. Imagine the smoothness of vodka, the orange zest of Cointreau, and the sharp kick of limoncello, all blending together in perfect harmony. It’s a symphony of citrus that’s bright, bold, and undeniably refreshing. A splash of lime juice and a touch of sugar syrup round out the flavours, making this cocktail a sweet serenade for your senses. It’s the perfect drink for those who want to keep their summer playlist on repeat, with every sip hitting a high note.

3. Ocean Breeze: Catch a Wave of Flavors

If you’re craving a cocktail that’s as cool and refreshing as a dip in the ocean, the Ocean Breeze is calling your name. With gin as its base and a splash of Cointreau and lime juice, this drink is as crisp as a sea breeze. But the real star of the show is the blue curaçao, which gives the cocktail its stunning azure hue and a hint of tropical sweetness. Finished with a touch of sugar syrup, the Ocean Breeze is like a mini vacation in a glass. Close your eyes, take a sip, and let the flavours transport you to a beachside paradise.

4. Lychee Lagoon: A Taste of the Tropics

For those looking to add a touch of the exotic to their summer cocktail repertoire, the Lychee Lagoon is the perfect choice. This drink combines the rich, robust flavour of dark rum with the floral sweetness of St. Germain liqueur and lychee liqueur. A touch of sugar balances out the flavours, creating a cocktail that’s both sweet and sophisticated. It’s like a tropical lagoon that’s been distilled into a drink—perfect for those moments when you want to escape to a far-off island without leaving your seat.

5. Trio of France: A Cocktail with a European Flair

Last but certainly not least, we have the Trio of France, a cocktail that’s as elegant and refined as its name suggests. This drink is a delightful blend of vodka and Sauvignon Blanc, with a splash of mulled grape juice adding a hint of warmth and complexity. A touch of sugar syrup sweetens the deal, creating a cocktail that’s light, refreshing, and perfect for sipping on a late summer evening. It’s like taking a leisurely stroll through a French vineyard, glass in hand, savoring the last golden hours of daylight.

So, while the Manchester weather might be hinting at autumn, let’s keep summer alive with these fantastic cocktails from The Lowry Hotel. Here’s to savoring every last drop of the season—cheers! 🥂
