It’s that time of year once more. Spring is turning to summer and, while the weather may be unreliable, we want to get out in the garden and have an alfresco cocktail party - or at least dream of one until we are allowed to have everyone over for a big shindig.
Until then, there is this fun summer garden party quiz! All that you have to do plan a garden party and we’ll tell you exactly which cocktail to enjoy this summer through June, July and August. What’s more, we’d love to hear which cocktail you get wherever you see this quiz posted on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Don’t forget to add up your points as you go to see which cocktail you get!
