It's after 5 p.m. somewhere in the world, right? A cocktail is a must for a hot summer evening, by the pool or on a picnic. My favorite summer cocktails are apricot and rosemary gin fizz, cucumber pomegranate vodka lemonade and a classic mojito.
But we can also enjoy a lovely cocktail during Christmas and winter. A decadent Irish coffee, Nordic gløgg or a creamy eggnog will warm you right up!
