Whether at your next brunch, as an after-work drink or at a summer party, these alcoholic drinks for the summer are guaranteed to be refreshing and enjoyable.

Trojka Sun: the refreshing newcomer for sun worshippers

With its light, sunny yuzu flavour (a Japanese citrus fruit), peach and rosemary, as well as its bright yellow hue that reminds you of a sunset, this vodka liqueur brings summer sensations to the glass instantly. Ideal for those who like it fruity and light.

  • Rosemary for decoration

Method: fill a wine glass with ice cubes, add the Trojka Sun, top up with Prosecco and add a dash of sparkling water. Stir briefly and garnish with a sprig of rosemary.

Alternative combinations: Trojka Sun is extremely versatile: if you like it even simpler, simply mix it with tonic water or sparkling water. A perfect, light summer drink conjured up in seconds.

Trojka Flamingo: fruity, refreshing and colourful

Trojka Flamingo is a real eye-catcher. The orange-pink liqueur has a fruity flavour of grapefruit and elderflower and is perfect for sparkling summer drinks. Its fresh, slightly bitter note makes it the ideal basis for original aperitif ideas.

Alternative combinations: a pleasure even without Prosecco: Trojka Flamingo can be perfectly and very easily be mixed with bitter lemon. A bittersweet treat for hot days.

Trojka Pink: the berry dream for your aperitif

Anyone who loves fresh and sweet berries will love Trojka Pink. This variant combines fruity flavours of strawberries and cranberries to create a feminine yet cheeky taste sensation. Ideal for those who love their cocktails to be simple yet special.

Aperitif in summer – more than just a drink

An aperitif is not just a drink – it is a ritual. Especially in summer, it invites you to take a break, marks the transition from day to evening and brings friends together around the table. Aperitifs should whet your appetite, be light and lift the mood – that’s exactly what the fruity Trojka creations achieve.

Whether it’s before a BBQ, a cosy dinner with antipasti or simply while having a chat by the lake: a colourful Trojka Spritz brings the perfect blend of lightness, flavour and colour. What’s more: the vibrant colours of the drinks also make them a visual experience – ideal for Instagram-worthy summer moments.


Tips for mixing: how to make your summer drinks a success

To ensure that summer drinks with Trojka not only look good, but also taste really good, here are a few simple tips for mixing:

  1. Ice is mandatory: use plenty of ice cubes – they not only keep the drink cool but also add volume to the glass and make the flavours dilute more slowly. Always top up the glass with ice, 2‒3 ice cubes are not enough.
  2. Don’t forget the garnish: mint, citrus fruits, berries and edible flowers enhance the appearance of any drink and complement its flavour.
  3. Prepare the glasses: briefly chill the glasses in the freezer before serving. This ensures extra freshness with the first sip and a really cool effect.
  4. Less is more: Trojka has an intense flavour – too many additional ingredients mask the fruity character. Keep the recipes simple.
  5. Add sparkling wine wisely: pour it slowly into your glass to preserve the carbon dioxide.
  6. Batch drinks for parties: mix larger amounts in a carafe or punch bowl – perfect for a large group and easy to serve. Keep in mind, however, that this causes some of the carbon dioxide in the drinks to escape.

Summer, sun, Trojka: cheers to the best time of the year

Whether at a brunch, a garden party or as an idea for an aperitif on the terrace – the four summer drinks with Trojka bring colour, freshness and flavour to the glass. They are easy and super quick to prepare, can be varied flexibly and offer the right combination for every taste.

With Trojka, you can not only create cocktails quickly, but also add lots of summery colours to your glass that will impress your friends. So make some ice, cool Trojka bottles and enjoy the summer to the full.

Cheers! Here’s to an unforgettable summer with Trojka!
