These Ciroc vodka cocktails are giving us serious summer vibes

Bring it on.

Words by Lucía Francés

Summer 2018 seems to have taken its sweet time to arrive, but now it is probably also time to switch up from mulled wine to a refreshing cocktail. We don't know about you, but we are really craving the cooling, sweet and fruity taste of summer while sunbathing in the garden (while also thinking about the plans we’ve cancelled because of the weather, but you know, priorities).

But, easier said than done, right? How are we supposed to relax when we have to decide when there are so many cocktails to choose from?

Our friends at CÎROC are helping to do our lives easier and make the most of the heatwave by sharing some of their unique and simple recipes using their limited edition flavour Summer Colada vodka.
