The Perfect Drinks For Summer


Ok, so this post is kind of sponsored? Lol I am working with Ketel One Botanical, but for Instagram. This blog post is just for fun because I legit love these drinks so much. I count down the hours until I get home and can make a Botanical and soda. These drinks are legit the most delicious thing and even my friends who don’t love alcohol are a big fan of these.

Ketel One Botanicals are vodka distilled with real botanicals and infused with natural fruit essences in traditional copper pot stills. There are no artificial flavors, no sugar or artificial sweeteners, no carbs, and made with 100% non-GMO grain. OH and only 73 calories! Heyoooo.

So these yummy botanicals come in three variations: Cucumber and Mint, Grapefruit and Rose, and Peach and Orange Blossom. These crisp and light drinks are SO perfect for the warmer months so I wanted to share my fave combos.

3 Botanical and Sodas For Your Party

1) 1.5 oz Ketel One Botanical Cucumber and Mint + 3 oz Lemon Soda Water + Sprig of Mint or a Cucumber slice

2) 1.5 oz Ketel One Botanical Peach and Orange Blossom + 3 oz Peach Soda Water + Peach slice

3) 1.5 oz Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit and Rose + 3 oz Grapefruit Soda Water + Grapefruit slice

I also like to add a fun floral and some kind of herb–rosemary, mint, basil, etc. when appropriate. I lucked out making these at my mom’s because she has an herb garden.

These are seriously perfect drinks for book club, girl’s day, garden parties, Kentucky Derby parties, bachelorettes, showers, you name it. It’s the lightest most refreshing drink. Even though I am working with them for Instagram, I just had to share on the blog too. These Botanicals are THAT GOOD.

I’m gushing, but you really can’t beat something this tasty that is carb free, sugar free and 40% less calories than a glass of white wine, am I right?

Have you had the Ketel One Botanicals yet?? What’s your favorite combo?

    Hey girl I LOVE your blog! Also, I’ve been dying to pick up some new summer drink supplies, I honestly had no idea where to start until now! Have you tried the ruby red Ketel one yourself??? I’m super curious, and addicted to anything grapefruit! This looks super refreshing and light, I’m going to have to pick up the grapefruit one for myself 🙂
