Summer Cocktails
Make this summer endless. Beginning in June, Melting Pot is featuring Cocktail Creations to perfectly pair with our Forever Fondue special. The Main Squeeze is a delightful prosecco drink to sip this summer. The strawberry lavender flavors subtly shine in this bubbly spritz and end with a slight crisp, lemony finish.
Another favorite is the Peché Please. With its light and refreshing flavor profile, this delicious cocktail boldly boosts hints of raspberry and lemon. Looking for something a little bit more robust? The Melting Pot Modern Old Fashioned reinvents the staple cocktail with a fruitier, spicier rye whiskey in place of the traditional bourbon. The Ear grey bitters add a nuance of English tea. Garnished with a filthy cherry, an orange peel, and served over a giant ice block, this drink is full of creative twists to an Old Fashioned.
Two other cocktails to enjoy this summer are the Pink Crush and Strawberry Blossom featured with Melting Pots Best Fondue Friends Forever, AKA BFFF. With strawberry and citrus flavors, both cocktails are refreshing and light. These tasty drinks can be made in large quantities to serve by pitcher with all your friends!
