Are you ready for the bikini bodies, trips to the beach, cookouts, and cold drinks. We are, and that’s why we’re starting it off with a few refreshing summer cocktails courtesy of Kappa Pisco. Memorial day weekend is right around the corner, so the perfect opportunity awaits to give one of these a try after (or before) you throw a few pounds of meat on the grill and get it fired up. The punch is a perfect crowd pleaser great for entertaining large groups and for those looking for something a bit more simpler, check out the Kappa Cooler.

KAPPA Punch

  • 1 ½ oz KAPPA Pisco
  • ½ oz Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • ½ oz fresh orange juice
  • ½ oz lime juice
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass filled with ice.  Shake vigorously and strain into a wine goblet or rocks glass with fresh ice.  Garnish with a pineapple wedge.

KAPPA Kooler

  • 1½ oz KAPPA Pisco
  • ½ oz simple syrup
  • Club Soda
  • Squeeze a wedge of lemon and lime

Combine all ingredients into a Collins glass with ice. Top with club soda and stir. Garnish with lemon and lime wedge.    

Cheers!
