Spring has officially sprung. If you’re looking for something to sip on this season, treat your taste buds to these refreshing scotch cocktails by Aberfeldy and Craigellachie whiskies, or a light and fizzy spritz made with Tequila Cazadores.

The Takes Two to Mango is a sweet and citrusy drink made with Aberfeldy 12 Year Old and an unexpected mix of mango puree, while the Go On, Sweet Bird combines Craigellachie 13 Year Old with bitters, lime juice and pineapple gum syrup, bringing out the bright pineapple notes of the whisky.

If whisky isn’t your thing, try a spritz that was inspired by the grapefruit season in Texas. Rio Star Spritz was created by Worcester’s Annex award-winning mixologist Rebecca Burkart, ups the ante for an interesting tequila twist.

These seasonal cocktails make for perfect spring sippers and can also shake up any Easter brunch.
