SummertimeCocktail recipe
Rating
The "Summertime" cocktail offers a refreshing blend suitable for warm weather sipping. It features the rich and complex flavors of dark rum which provides a sweet, molasses-like base, complemented by the distinctive honeyed and herbal notes of Drambuie, a Scotch whisky-based liqueur.
This concoction is balanced out with a splash of soda water, adding a light effervescence that makes it both invigorating and easy to drink. Served in a lowball glass, the Summertime cocktail is a straightforward, cold beverage that captures the laid-back essence of summer in a glass.

Cocktail Colin says:
Summertime is a beautifully balanced mix, featuring the deep, caramel sweetness of dark rum counterbalanced by the herbal, honeyed notes of Drambuie, with a refreshing fizz from soda water. It’s a drink that captures the lazy warmth of summer days in a glass.

FAQ's
What can be used as a substitute for Drambuie in the Summertime cocktail?
If you're out of Drambuie, you can use another Scotch whisky-based liqueur like Glayva or even a honey whiskey for a similar sweetness and depth of flavor, though the taste profile will be slightly different.
Is it crucial to use a lowball glass for the Summertime cocktail, or can I use a different type of glass?
While the lowball glass is recommended to concentrate the aromatics and facilitate the sipping experience, you could alternatively use a highball glass if you prefer a taller drink or want to add more soda water for a lighter taste.
What is the best way to serve the Summertime cocktail to enhance its flavors?
To best enjoy the Summertime cocktail, serve it well chilled. You can stir the ingredients with ice before straining into the glass and optionally garnish with a lemon twist or a sprig of mint to enhance its refreshing qualities.
How does the alcohol content in the Summertime cocktail compare to a standard glass of wine?
The Summertime cocktail has an alcohol content of 20%, which is higher than a standard glass of wine, typically around 12-14% alcohol by volume (ABV). Therefore, the Summertime cocktail is stronger and should be consumed more cautiously.
For what occasions is the Summertime cocktail most suitable?
With its refreshing and not overly sweet profile, the Summertime cocktail is perfect for summer gatherings, afternoon barbecues, or any occasion where a chilled, uplifting drink might be enjoyed, especially outdoors to complement the warm weather.
