Article: THE BEST SUMMER 2025 COCKTAILS
In summer, every moment becomes a celebration : a ray of sunshine, a shady terrace, a glass in hand. At Cristallerie de Montbronn, we have selected three summer cocktails, presented not only to awaken the taste buds, but above all magnified by the briliance of our crystal glasses.
While the Art of cocktail making lies in the balance of flavours, the Art of serving it is played out in light, curves, and transparency. Through this selection, filmed in our exceptional pieces, we invite you to rediscover the ritual of tasting, where every detail counts, from the delicate tinkling to the dance of reflections.
The Spritz
A staple on terraces for years now, the Spritz is making a comeback as one of the season's favourites. With its orange hues, its refreshing bitterness, and hint of effervescence, it's the perfect embodiment of the summer spirit : simple, casual, but always elegant.
To make it even more special, we've served it in our Circé gin glass, whose contemporary balloon shape is perfectly suited to the demands of this type of cocktail. Its wide goblet allows the aromas to open fully, while generously accomodating the ice cubes, orange slices, and Prosecco bubbles. The slender foot offers a delicate grip that preserves the freshness of the beverage.
An ideal balance between aesthetics and function, where every detail contributes to magnifying the moment.
The Summer Stroll
The Summer Stroll is an ode to lightness. This flowery, delicately tart cocktail is reminiscent of a sumer stroll at dawn, when the air is perfumed with lavender, citrus, and fresh mint. Both thirst-quencing and refined, it plays on the freshness of herbs and the sweetness of flowers, for a refined drink.
The generous capacity of the Circé highball tumber highlights the fresh ice cubes, edible flowers, and thin slices of fruit while retaining a beautiful verticality. The purity of crystal accentuates the clarity and liveliness of the preparation, offering a striking contrast between the modernity of the glass and the poetry of the blend.
An invitation to freshness, done with elegance.
The Pink Lady
With its delicate pink hue and tangy notes of gin and grenadine, the Pink Lady seduces with its sophisticated allure and assertive character. This emblematic cocktail from the 1930s is now back in the spotlight as a timeless statement of elegance - bold, feminine, and resolutely chic.
To hold it, we've chosen our Alya champagne glass, whose modern lines and wide mouth recall the golden age of the cocktail. This iconic modern shape allows the aromas to express themselves while highlighting the silky robe of the blend. The crystal captures the light and makes every reflection sparkle, while the slim silhouette of the glass reinforces the refinement of the service.
A tribute to the great classics, revosited with a modern twist.
The Art of cocktail is not limited to the recipe : it extends to the choice of glass, the interplay of textures, the ligfht captured and the gesture of serving. Through these three summer creations - the sparkling Spritz, the flowery Summer Stroll and the elegant Pink Lady - we wanted to show how each drink can be exalted by a made-to-measure recepient.
At Cristallerie de Montbronn, each piece is designed to to magnify the moment, reveal the colours, accompany the effervescence and enrich the sensory experience.
