Use spices to improve your summer cocktails

Back

How can you make your drinks truly unforgettable?

The answer is in the spices. Here we present the best spices for your summer cocktails and how to use them to impress your guests.

1. Cinnamon

Your cocktails can benefit greatly from a warm, sweet touch. Cinnamon is a versatile spice that can transform a simple mojito into a flavor-packed Cinnamon Mojito. A very popular cocktail originating from Cuba, composed of rum, lemon, mint or eucalyptus and mineral water, but this time, a cinnamon stick is added that not only improves the flavor, but also adds an attractive visual touch.

2. Ginger

If you are looking for a cocktail with a spicy and refreshing touch, ginger is your best ally. Whether fresh or powdered, ginger is perfect for a Moscow Mule that will leave you wanting more. It's a cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer and lime juice, garnished with a slice of lime. Its distinctive flavor and cooling capacity make it an ideal option for summer.

3. Cardamom

For those looking for a unique and aromatic flavor, cardamom is a must. Try a Gin Tonic with cardamom and enjoy an exotic experience. This spice adds a depth of flavor that can transform any drink into something special.

4. Black Pepper

Black pepper may seem like an unusual choice, but its spicy flavor can add an interesting dimension to your cocktails. It is ideal for a Bloody Mary or a Strawberry and Black Pepper Cocktail. A touch of black pepper can surprise and delight your guests.

5. Star anise

Star anise has a sweet, slightly licorice flavor that can complement a variety of cocktails. It is perfect for rum or gin based drinks. A Floral Gin Tonic with hibiscus and anise is just what you need for a refreshing and aromatic drink.
