Spring in South Africa is all about sunshine, blossoms, and finally shaking off the winter chill. And what better way to celebrate than with a picnic that’s as fresh and vibrant as the season itself? With VerGin Bloom and Limón in your basket, you can enjoy all the flavour of spring, without a drop of alcohol.
🌱 Start with the Sip
Forget lugging heavy wine bottles and complicated mixers; spring is about keeping it light and refreshing. VerGin’s botanicals shine beautifully in easy, big-batch cocktails. Here are two pitcher-perfect recipes to try:
🌸 Springtime Pitcher Punch (Serves 6-8)
- 150ml VerGin Bloom (or swap for Limón if you like it zesty)
- 1L tonic or sparkling water
- 200ml fresh orange juice
- 200ml cranberry juice
- A handful of fresh mint + edible flowers for garnish
- Slices of lemon, lime, and orange
Stir everything together in a jug filled with ice. The result? A floral, fragrant crowd-pleaser that’s as beautiful as it is refreshing.
🍋 VerGin Lemonade Spritz (Serves 6-8)
- 150ml VerGin Limón
- 800ml sparkling water
- 300ml cloudy lemonade
- Slices of lemon + sprigs of rosemary
Pour all ingredients into a large jug with plenty of ice. Light, citrusy, and just the right amount of sparkle, this one’s basically spring in a glass.
🧺 Picnic Pairings to Try
Good food doesn’t have to be complicated to be complemented by VerGin. Keep it simple, fresh, and flavourful:
- Bloom (floral + herbal): soft cheeses, cucumber sandwiches, fresh berries.
- Limón (bright + citrusy): chicken wraps, veggie sticks with zesty hummus, olives.
- Bonus idea: Freeze a mix of seasonal fruit and drop it into your drinks instead of ice… practical and pretty.
🌼 Picnic Essentials List
To make your picnic feel premium yet playful, don’t forget:
- A cosy blanket (the bigger, the better)
- A basket or cooler for food + drinks
- Reusable cups and straws
- Ice packs or frozen fruit
- A speaker with your favourite playlist
- And of course… a bottle (or two) of VerGin ✨
