When the sun finally makes an appearance, there's nothing quite like gathering friends and family in the garden, heading to the beach with a picnic, or simply relaxing outdoors with a refreshing drink in hand.
This summer, we're embracing easy-to-make serves that deliver maximum flavour with minimal fuss. Whether you're looking for a lighter tropical cocktail or a sparkling twist on a classic gin serve, Exeter Spirits has you covered.
The Skinny Piña Colada: Tropical Sunshine in a Glass
Dreaming of palm trees and sandy beaches? Our Exeter Rum Tropical White Rum brings a taste of the tropics to Devon.
Crafted with smooth Caribbean rum and infused with vibrant tropical flavours, it captures the essence of summer in every sip. Notes of juicy pineapple, creamy coconut and exotic fruits make it the perfect base for refreshing warm-weather cocktails.
A Lighter Take on the Piña Colada
Traditional Piña Coladas can be rich and heavy, but our Skinny Piña Colada offers all the tropical flavour with a lighter, more refreshing finish.
Simply combine:
- 50ml Exeter Rum Tropical White Rum
- Fever-Tree Mexican Lime Soda
- Plenty of ice
- Fresh lime wedge to garnish
The crisp citrus notes from the Mexican Lime Soda perfectly complement the tropical fruit character of the rum, creating a refreshing serve that's ideal for garden parties, beach days and summer barbecues.
It's effortless, delicious and wonderfully refreshing on a hot afternoon.
Sparkling Summer Elegance with Grandad's Allotment Strawberry & Lime Gin
Nothing says summer quite like strawberries.
Our Grandad's Allotment Strawberry & Lime Gin is inspired by the flavours of a traditional British allotment, combining sweet, ripe strawberries with a zesty burst of fresh lime.
The result is a beautifully balanced gin that's bursting with summer character.
The Perfect Prosecco Pour
Looking for an easy summer cocktail that will impress guests?
Add a measure of Grandad's Allotment Strawberry & Lime Gin to a chilled glass of Prosecco or Champagne.
The fresh fruit flavours mingle beautifully with the delicate bubbles, creating a light and elegant serve that's perfect for:

- Picnics in the park
- Sunset drinks on the beach
For an extra touch of theatre, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a twist of lime.
