Lazy Days: Summer Cocktail Extravaganza with Monin

It’s set to be a real scorcher this week with temperatures reaching the high thirties. While you’re making plans to relax in the garden, head to the local lido or simply sit in the shade with a good book, why not treat yourself to a delicious cocktail or two; these epic summer cocktails from Monin will be the ultimate thirst-quenchers over the coming few weeks.
