Summer Slowdown

Now more than ever technology and social media dictate the way we communicate and live our lives, as immediate information is readily available at the touch of a fingertip. The obsession with this rapid way of life has resulted in an increased sense of overload and stress; leaving society desperate for a ‘time-out.’ The “slow living” movement was designed as a series of small lifestyles shifts, aimed to guide those who are over-stimulated, and inspire a more mindful and stress-free life.

Whether you’re lounging poolside or having friends over for a barbecue, our Creative Beverage Director Grant Sceney has rounded up five bottles that will keep the party going ‘til late into the night. If you’re looking for the perfect summer sipper for your next gathering, try Sceney’s Gin based Kampai Cocktail recipe below. Cheers!
