Freixenet Adds Sparkle to July 4 with These Tasty Cocktails!

Happy Fourth of July! Are you ready for the snap, crackle and pop! Maybe a few of those pops will be via the opening of bottles of Freixenet for cocktails that I am going to share with you now!!

With warmer weather upon us, there’s nothing like cooling down with a bubbly cocktail. This summer, think outside the flute with cocktails from Freixenet Cava. Made in the traditional méthode champenoise, Cava bubbles last longer than Prosecco and it is easy to balance with most fruit flavors, giving you the perfect complement to any fruity cocktail of your choice. So whether you are planning an afternoon by the pool or a dinner party with friends al fresco, a summertime cocktail made with Freixenet Cava is the perfect thing to serve. Refreshing and light, the following four recipes offer simple and festive options.

Few things shout out the coming of summer quite like the arrival of watermelon at your local supermarket. Refreshing and delicious, it’s the perfect fruit to eat by the pool and why not try
experimenting with in your cocktails. Cool down this summer by the pool with Freixenet’s Sweet Sparkling Watermelon, featuring Freixenet Sweet Cuvée Cava.
