Drinks for a barbecue are more than just beer or classic vodka with cola. If you want your summer gathering to be memorable, opt for premium spirits and creative flavor combinations. In this article, you’ll discover five original ideas based on high-quality liquors—all available at the Crimston Spirits store.

Classic refreshment with Portofino Dry Gin

Gin is one of the most versatile spirits for summer drinks for a barbecue. Portofino Dry Gin already makes an impression with its look—a blue, square bottle inspired by 1930s perfume flacons. But it’s the content that really counts: botanical aromas and citrusy freshness make it perfect for a classic gin and tonic with lime, cucumber, or rosemary.

For a more creative twist, try it with grapefruit tonic, a few pomegranate seeds, or fresh herbs like basil or mint. This gin also comes in striking gift sets—if you’re heading to someone’s barbecue with a bottle in hand, the Portofino gift box will be a guaranteed hit.

Surprise your guests with Jumping Goat coffee liqueur

It’s an unexpected choice—and that’s exactly why it stands out. Jumping Goat coffee liqueur comes in two versions: one based on whey vodka (orange bottle), the other on Scotch whisky (black bottle). It’s perfect for an Espresso Martini—just mix it with chilled espresso in a martini glass for a dessert-style cocktail after your barbecue meal.

If you want to truly impress your friends, go with the Jumping Goat gift set with cups. It’s more than just a bottle—it’s a conversation starter that brings smiles and a great vibe.

The sunny freshness of Pampelle aperitif

Nothing says summer like Pampelle, the French aperitif made from red grapefruit. It pairs perfectly with prosecco and soda water, creating a light, beautifully colored Spritz with a balanced taste. This is a great option for those who enjoy more delicate, lower-alcohol cocktails.

Pampelle also comes in an elegant gift box, making it a great gift idea for your barbecue host. And trust us—it tastes even better while watching the sunset.

Every party needs a “wow” moment—and LOUERS® Vodka delivers from the very first glance. Its silver, spiked, LED-lit bottle looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. But it’s not just about appearance—this vodka is pure, bold, and pairs beautifully with fruit juices.

Try it with blood orange juice, a splash of lime, and ice. It’s simple but unforgettable. For an added touch of class, choose the version in the wooden gift box, which takes this premium vodka to the next level.

A perfect alcohol gift for the occasion

A barbecue at a friend’s place is the perfect chance to bring a thoughtful gift. If you’re unsure what to choose, go for premium alcohol in a gift edition. Crimston Spirits has a wide selection—from elegant cognacs to exotic tequilas in designer bottles. It’s a gesture that looks great and tastes even better.

Some products, like the Jumping Goat or Pampelle, come in ready-to-gift sets. Or go for something truly luxurious, like Casa Don Ramón Swarovski tequila with Swarovski jewelry inside. Whatever you choose, you’ll find something for every occasion at sklep.crimston.pl/en.
