Every season has its own characteristics. The summer season is no exception. Plenty of sunlight, warmth enveloping you with tenderness, profusion of flowers, abundance of fruits, berries, and vegetables – these are, of course, positive moments. But there is, unfortunately, a small spoonful of tar. Undoubtedly, it is exhausting heat. Not everyone tolerates it easily. Not everyone has the opportunity to soak on the shore of the blue sea or a cool pool, but it is still possible to alleviate the general condition.
One of the ways is to have a sufficient amount of water and various soft drinks in the diet. There are a lot of great mixes that will help you tolerate the summer heat more easily. The Brandbar company offers excellent products that are perfect for creating magical cocktails that can work miracles.
Alcohol “to be or not to be”
Many people believe that hot summer days completely exclude alcohol. And this, as a rule, should be so. After all, strong products, especially in the heat, can provoke an outbreak of chronic diseases, lead to dehydration, complications of cardiovascular pathologies, etc.
But what about soft drinks. They can become an excellent tonic that quenches thirst and at the same time a means that can relax the nervous system. Among such wonderful cocktails is the world-famous Mojito. The basis of this legendary mix is rum, mint, lime or lemon juice, soda, sugar or sugar syrup and ice.
One slice of juicy lime + 10 fresh mint leaves is placed in a strong glass. Everything is rubbed well. You need to get a fragrant, tender juice. A couple more pieces of lime + sugar (2 tablespoons) are added here. The procedure is repeated. Next, the container is filled with ice, and rum (50 ml) and tonic (100 ml) are poured into it.
Those who like to experiment can add ripe berries or fruits to the drink. Fresh raspberries, peaches, strawberries are good. They will be perfectly replaced by the beautifying syrups presented in the Brandbar company collection. They are made only from natural ingredients of the highest quality. Everyone will find here exactly the taste that impresses them the most.
The charming “Mojito” can be accompanied by other equally interesting compositions. Fans can try, for example, the famous “Cuba Libre”. For one serving, you will need a tall glass, which should be filled two-thirds full with ice. Next, 45 ml of rum and 120 ml of cola are poured. The final touch is lime juice (30ml). A simple mixture will be to your taste on hot summer days.
Another magical mix is “Coconut Sprite”. It consists of 50 ml of coconut liqueur, 150 ml of sprite, a few mint leaves and crushed ice. The mint is placed first, the container is filled with ice, coconut liqueur and Sprite are poured. Mix everything carefully and enjoy the gentle coolness and excellent taste.
A magical union
As you know, the first mentions of cocktails date back to the beginning of the 19th century. Since then, a lot has changed in the world of mixes. But there is a category of drinks that firmly hold on to the top of Olympus. Thanks to well-chosen ingredients, they have an amazing taste and will not disappoint even the most demanding gourmet.
In the summer heat, refreshing drinks are especially popular. Among the rich collection, the unique “Long Island” occupies not the last place. It is based on five types of elite alcohol.
