The sun is shining, the music’s playing and the ice is clinking. Yes, summer has officially arrived. And this year, it’s all about sipping smarter. Whether you’re the designated driver, sober-curious, or just not in the mood for alcohol, VerGin brings all the flavour and sophistication you want minus the buzz.
Grab your bottle of VerGin Bloom or Limón, load up on ice, and let’s get mixing.
The Art of a Perfect Summer Mocktail
Summer mocktails are all about balance, crisp fizz, cooling botanicals, and enough personality to stand on their own. VerGin’s concentrated flavour means you only need 25 ml per serve (half of what traditional gins require), so your bottle goes further without compromising taste.
Stock your home bar with soda, tonic, fresh herbs, and a few bottles of kombucha.
