During the summer months, you can take a break from the heat and indulge in a cool, tropical drink. Wine is perfect for this and it’s also a great way to relax after a long day. Here are some of the best options available for you to try.
Chardonnay
Whether you are looking for a wine to drink on a hot day, or you just want something to quench your thirst, you will love the taste of Chardonnay. Its flavor is smooth and creamy and has a hint of tropical fruit. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with many foods.
Traditionally, a chardonnay is dry, but some winemakers will experiment with oak barrels to increase its flavor. Oak can add a variety of flavors, including spice, butter, and hazelnut. Typically, aging is six to 10 months, though some winemakers may age the wine for up to 24 months.
The grapes used for chardonnay come from the Burgundy region of France. The climate in that region is ideal for growing the grapes. Cool breezes off the bay keep the fruit from getting too ripe. The fruit is then fermented, which softens its acidity. The wine is then aged in barrels for a brief period.
Citrus
Getting a leg up on your colleagues in the office isn’t the only reason to eschew the big kahuna. A little planning goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and stress free experience. After all, the best office space is the place to be when the boss is a tad less than ecstatic. Fortunately, we figured out before too long that the aforementioned neophyte was not the only one in town. The aforementioned persuaders are now known to be the kings of the castle and we are all better for it. The rest of the kin has been relegated to a second office and a nice bottle of rosé. Thankfully, the aforementioned persuaders have found a new mate in the form of a seasoned pro who is more than happy to oblige. Hopefully, this will last a few months until the next round of office shinners hit the frat hall.
Cocktail
Whether you are having a summer party or just enjoying a hot day in the sun, a cocktail with a tropical summer breeze is the perfect choice. This drink combines rum, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice to give you the perfect combination of sweet and tart. If you like a strong rum flavor, you can make this recipe with a stronger rum, while if you prefer a light taste, you can add more cranberry juice.
A cocktail with a tropical summer breeze is easy to make at home. You can even make this drink ahead of time to serve at a party. You can also serve it in a pitcher to make it easy.
You can also enjoy this refreshing cocktail in the winter. You can make this drink with white or pink cranberry juice, or you can mix cranberry juice with vodka to make it a mocktail. You can also garnish your cocktail with a cherry and orange slice.
