3 Drinks to Try That Say Spring Is Here!
The days are longer, the evenings are lighter, and whether the sun actually shows up or not, we’re declaring it officially time to spring clean your drinks shelf.
This week’s Drops brings you a zesty rosé, a crisp new session ale, and an alcohol-free option that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Three top picks to help you drink better this weekend—whatever your vibe.
🍷 1. La Balconne Organic Provence Rosé
🌸 A blush of spring in every sip.
This organic rosé is basically the liquid equivalent of opening your windows for the first time in months. Fresh strawberries, peachy vibes and just enough zing to keep things interesting. It’s Provence in a bottle, minus the plane ticket.
Perfect for:
First BBQs of the year, smug spring picnics, or anything featuring goats’ cheese.
🍺 2. St Austell Brewery’s Anthem Session Pale
🎶 A session pale ale that hits all the right notes.
If you like your beer easygoing but flavourful, this is your new go-to. Anthem is bright and citrusy but with enough malt backbone to keep it grounded. At 4.1%, it’s perfect for longer lunches or not-so-early nights.
Perfect for:
Pub garden vibes, fish & chips, or raising a pint to not needing a coat.
🥂 3. Madrí Excepcional 0.0%
🚫 All the flavour, none of the alcohol.
This just-dropped no-alc version of the UK’s favourite Spanish lager does not taste like a sad substitute. It’s clean, floral, super-refreshing—and a strong contender if you’re cutting back or pacing yourself.
Perfect for:
Social drinkers who aren’t drinking, tapas Tuesdays, or just staying sharp.
Final Sip
Whether you’re going full spring mode or just looking to mix things up, these three are total winners. A bit of flavour. A bit of freshness. A bit of… optimism, maybe?
Crack one open, step outside—even if it’s just onto the balcony—and give your weekend a little upgrade.
