There’s something about the kickoff of the summer season that makes us crave fun, festive beverages to fuel our warm-weather adventures.

Sorel Hibiscus margarita is a huge hit, year round!

The Aperol Spritz is a globally celebrated cocktail. The recognizable glassful of ice, bubbles, and signature glowing orange hue is regularly spotted around the world, from piazzas in Italy during aperitivo hour to summertime patio bars in Brooklyn.

If you’re Carribean, you know sorrel. Valued for its medicinal properties, Jackie Summer’s grandparents carried this culinary tradition made with hibiscus with them when they emigrated from Barbados to New York in the 1920s.

Created by Jackie Summers, the first licensed Black distiller in the U.S., Sorel Liqueur is inspired by sorrel, a spiced hibiscus drink with roots in West Africa and the Caribbean.

What about the Aperol spritz? That’s so 2021, but the spritz isn’t over. “The spritz is taking on a new life with hibiscus and ginger,”

Liqueurs bring both sweetness and engaging flavors to cocktails, and that’s why bartenders keep various versions on their speed rails at work and at their home bars.

Remember when a holiday punch bowl was the main attraction? Recreate the fun with this sophisticated punch.
