Spring is all about renewal – fresh blooms, new beginnings, and a chance to enjoy the outdoors again. From floral gins to sparkling wine and refreshing RTDs, here’s our picks for great spring sips.

Floral or Pink Gin

When it comes to springtime sips, gin is the star of the show. This isn’t just any gin we’re talking about, though—it’s the kind that smells like a garden in full bloom. Imagine sipping a gin and tonic infused with lavender, elderflower, or rose petals. These floral notes bring a light, fragrant twist to your drink, making it feel like you’re sipping on spring itself.

And let’s not forget Pink Gin, the ultimate springtime spirit. Pink Gin takes those delicate botanical flavours and adds a fruity twist—often with hints of strawberry, raspberry, or rhubarb. It’s like spring in a bottle, with its blush colour and refreshing taste making it a perfect choice for sunny afternoons. Our picks are Beefeater Pink Strawberry Gin, Tread Softly Natural Botanics Gin, and Duchess H Peach & Passionfruit Gin Cup. 

Sparkling Wine or Champagne

Spring gives us plenty of reasons to pop a cork (or, ahem, remove a twist-top), and there’s no better way to do it than with a glass of sparkling wine. The light, bubbly nature of a good Prosecco, sparkling wine or fancy Champagne pairs perfectly with the season’s lighter food – think fresh salads, seafood and fruit platters. Top drops for this season is Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut, and one of our favourite cocktails to enjoy with a base of sparkling wine is this Lavender & Elderflower Bubbles recipe.

And if you’re in the mood for something a bit more colourful, a rosé sparkling wine adds a lovely blush that’s just as pretty as the flowers blooming outside. Enter The Jules Rosé!

Refreshing RTDs

If you’re after something quick and easy, RTDs are a fantastic springtime option. Forget the sugary, artificial drinks of the past, today’s RTDs are all about high-quality ingredients and natural flavours and refreshing flavours like lemon, cucumber, or mint capture the crisp, clean feeling of Spring.

Pals Cucumber Soda definitely fits the bill, as does Clean Collective Pear & Elderflower Vodka RTD.
