Gordon's Summer Serves
Jan 11, 2022
Spirits are now more popular in the on-prem than wine, and our choice of featured cocktails needs to represent that. Accompanying the food occasion means low and no abv serves, light and seasonal ingredients, and a focus on photo worthy libations to be as easy on the eyes as it is on the palate.
This summer we’ll be celebrating our new Summer Serves perfectly paired with food. We are so excited to be showcasing the versatility of Smirnoff No. 21 mixed with soda and fresh lime and the recent addition to the Gordon’s Gin portfolio with the 0.0%, a brilliant expression that boasts all of the flavour qualities of Gordon’s without the alcohol.
I hope you are all as excited about summer as we are! There’s never been a better time to be championing the food and drink occasion, all supported by Diageo Summer Serves. Make sure to try out all our combo suggestions, and if you come up with any of your own please share and tag!
