ENJOY THE BRITISH SUMMER WHILE IT LASTS WITH NEW SEASONAL SERVES FROM THE FAMOUS GROUSE

To celebrate, the team has come up with three seasonal serves, perfect for elevating your summer soiree. Whether it’s a bunting-strewn garden party or a lazy al fresco dinner party – outdoor entertaining just wouldn’t be complete without a cocktail in hand.
Using The Famous Grouse as a foundation, with its chocolate orange flavour and long, slow finish, these three serves evoke the taste of summer with their fruity finishes:

More cocktails from the The Famous Coronation Cocktails Menu
As a Royal Warrant holder, The Famous Grouse is very proud of its place in the Royal Household’s drinks cabinet. This summer it will be attending the Coronation Festival at Buckingham Palace from 11 to 14 July.
To celebrate this occasion we have created some very special cocktails as part of our campaign to encourage people to make the most of our famous British summer…and enjoy it while it lasts!
Celebrating in The Famous Grouse’s very own style, we’ve created a bespoke cocktail menu inspired by Her Majesty’s royal households in Scotland: Balmoral Castle; Holyrood Palace and Glamis Castle.
Each recipe is quick and simple to prepare, and the perfect way to raise a toast to Her Majesty in her anniversary year.
