Tanqueray presents easy and refreshing gin cocktails for summer, with simple recipes, fresh flavors and a new partnership with Monin Brasil.
Summer calls for refreshing drinks that are aromatic, light and simple to prepare, and Tanqueray stands out as an ideal choice for those seeking flavor and sophistication during the hottest months of the year. With warmer days and more outdoor gatherings, consumers are increasingly looking for cocktails that deliver freshness without losing personality.
Tanqueray, Diageo’s premium gin brand, welcomes the season by reinforcing the trend of easy and aromatic cocktails. Known for its balanced botanical profile, the brand highlights the role of gin in contemporary mixology as a versatile spirit that pairs well with fruits, herbs and mixers that shine in the summer.
This mix of practicality and sophistication allows people to explore new flavor combinations at home without needing advanced bar skills. Tanqueray cocktails fit both casual get-togethers and special occasions, always with a focus on freshness and balance.
Tanqueray Bossa Nova and Monin Brasil partnership
The summer season also introduces a partnership between Tanqueray Bossa Nova and Monin Brasil, the Brazilian arm of the French brand globally known for its syrups, liqueurs and fruit purées. The collaboration arrives in the form of an exclusive kit – Tanqueray Bossa Nova + Monin Sugar Cane – available on Diageo’s official e-commerce, The Bar, and in selected stores in Rio de Janeiro’s South Zone.
The idea is to promote accessible and refreshing drinks by combining two products that help create naturally sweet and well-balanced cocktails. The kit was designed for home mixology, making it easier to prepare quality drinks, especially suited to the heat of the Rio summer.
With a focus on straightforward recipes, Tanqueray bets on cocktails that work both for those looking to renew their repertoire and for those who simply want a light and flavorful option to enjoy relaxed moments. The recipes below show how simple ingredients can turn into memorable summer experiences.
