Drinks to cool off in this warm weather
Watermelons can be hydrating on a hot day, but tucking into a wedge can be messy, LUXUO has a list of cocktails and bars where you can not just feel cool but look cool doing it.
Not every cocktail or beer is fit for the weather. As the sun approaches closer, here are some of our favourites for a good sipper on a hot day.
Lighten up with some citrus flavours, mint and bubbly. A summer-favourite has to be a classic daiquiri for that refreshing punch, but here are some other specials that are sure to please. Feeling a little extra special? You’ll be in safe hands for a bespoke.
