Summer is a season full of moments worth savoring, from sun-drenched lake days and backyard barbecues to festive rooftop brunches and, of course, the much-anticipated long weekend of Labor Day. No matter how you celebrate, the right cocktail can elevate the occasion, making memories even more special.
At Coppercraft Distillery, we believe in crafting premium spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails that enhance your summer experiences, but without complicating them. Whether you’re searching for the perfect Labor Day cocktails or just looking for the best summer cocktails, you’ve come to the right place.
For Backyard BBQs: Whiskey Lemonade
When the grill is fired up and the air is filled with the scent of smoky ribs or burgers, nothing pairs better than the sweet-and-spicy tang of our Whiskey Lemonade. Crafted with smooth rye whiskey and fresh lemon, it’s a grown-up twist on a classic favorite, perfect for tailgates, bonfires, and casual gatherings.
Tasting notes: Bright citrus upfront, with warm oak and spice on the finish.
Pair with: Grilled corn, brisket, or your favorite potato salad.
For Lake Days and Boat Rides: Gin & Tonic
There’s something timeless about a crisp Gin & Tonic, and Coppercraft’s take is crafted with care for your active summer lifestyle. Botanical notes of juniper and citrus come through clean and refreshing, ideal for sipping lakeside, beachside, or anytime the sun is shining.
Tasting notes: Juniper-forward, with bright citrus and subtle herbal undertones.
Pair with: Charcuterie boards, shrimp skewers, or fresh cucumber sandwiches.
For Rooftop Brunches and Poolside Sips: Pink Bubbles
Bright, bubbly, and bursting with juicy pomegranate and cherry flavors, Pink Bubbles is your go-to ready-to-drink cocktail for festive summer moments. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just enjoying a sunny afternoon with friends, it’s designed to bring a splash of color and joy.
Tasting notes: Light berry essence, crisp bubbles, and a clean vodka finish.
Pair with: Fresh fruit salad, goat cheese tartlets, or light pastries.
For Porch Sitting and Golden Hour: Moscow Mule
When the day winds down and the sky turns gold, reach for a Moscow Mule canned cocktail. Our blend of vodka, lime, and ginger beer offers the perfect balance of tart, spicy, and fizzy, great for relaxing with good company and even better views.
