Summer tends to be a mix of backyard meals, road trips, afternoons outside and whatever is easiest to grab from the fridge. Here are a few drinks and snacks that fit into the season without making things complicated.
Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky is one to keep in mind for simple summer drinks. The Gibson’s Sunshine Tea mixes whisky with iced tea and lemonade, which feels right for a warm afternoon. There is also the Gibson’s & Ginger with Sterling, ginger ale and lime, plus a whisky-based Caesar and Bold & Cola. Nothing too elaborate, just easy drinks for barbecues, cottage weekends or evenings outside.
Sanpellegrino CIAO! is the kind of drink that makes sense when it is properly hot out and you want something colder and more interesting than water. The flavoured sparkling water comes in Blood Orange, Lime, Peach and Cherry, with 15 calories or less per can. They are fruity without feeling heavy, and easy to throw in a cooler for the beach, a picnic or a backyard get-together.
MadeGood is handy for the days when everyone seems to need a snack at a different time. There are Trail Mix Organic Granola Bites, Strawberry Organic Granola Bites, Mornings Cinnamon Bun Soft Baked Bars and Chocolate Chip Soft Baked Mini Cookies. They are easy to pack for road trips and day outings, and since they are school-safe, they can carry over into the back-to-school season too.
