Summer is here, the temperatures are climbing, and there’s nothing quite like a perfectly chilled cocktail to beat the heat. Whether you’re hosting a garden party, catering a corporate event, or just relaxing on the terrace, knowing the best cocktails to make this summer will elevate your game. The 2026 season brings some exciting trends — from reimagined classics to bold new creations that your guests will absolutely love.
What’s Trending in Summer Cocktails This Year?
This summer is all about fresh fruit, lighter spirits, and simplicity done right. Here’s what’s making waves:
- **The Spritz evolution** — Classic Aperol Spritz still dominates, but mango, peach, and hibiscus variations are stealing the spotlight. Our signature **Mango Spritz** — produced in-house by Fiora Wines — is a one-of-a-kind hit you won’t find anywhere else in Poland.
- **Botanical G&T** — Local gins paired with real quinine tonic, garnished with fresh herbs like rosemary, cucumber, or juniper berries.
- **Fruit-forward Margaritas** — Strawberry, raspberry, passion fruit. Simple, stunning, and crowd-pleasing.
- **Whisky Sour with a twist** — Add seasonal fruit to this classic for a refreshing evening sipper.
- **Zero-proof cocktails** — Mocktails are no longer an afterthought. Guests are demanding sophisticated alcohol-free options that taste just as good.
