Grow Happy Hour in Your Garden
The freshest ingredients are the best ingredients. That statement applies to happy hour as well. Mixologists and home bartenders alike know that fresh herbs and flavors make or break a great drink. Why? When ingredients are picked at their peak, the flavor is the best that it can possibly be.
When making a cocktail recipe, the ingredients matter just like they do in a dinner recipe. We need a splash of fresh lemon and lime juice, the best locally-sourced or award-winning spirit, and fresh herbs such as mint, basil, rosemary, and sage. Have you ever made your own infused simple syrup at home? It’s amazing and makes all the difference.
Why not have the freshest herbs on hand for the best drinks at your summer gatherings and holiday events? A cocktail garden is what happy hour is missing and we’ve made it easy to grow with these cocktail garden essentials.
The Rise Gardens Cocktail Garden essentials includes: Sweet Genovese Basil, Peppermint, Cilantro, Lavender, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Lime Basil.
Speaking of the best ingredients, spirits and wine are the base of any cocktail or sangria, which means they have to be the best. That’s why we partnered with Collingwood Spirits and Wines for a fun Instagram giveaway for our Canadian community (details below)!
