Beautiful bars, bustling barbecues and picturesque parks are the perfect
wellness backdrop for the new range of Smirnoff Infusions

ost drinks can be enjoyed indoors. But only a special, select few
can truly be considered "outdoor" drinks. Whether it's a rooftop
bar or standing outside your favourite pub, a friend's garden or
one of London's many parks, these outdoor spaces demand a
tipple to suit the occasion. It's no coincidence that we tend to feel happier
throughout the summer months: there's all that vitamin D from the sun,
while social interaction and seeing friends is great for wellbeing.

These happy summer vibes are why Smirnoff
has created its new Infusions range. Imbued
with natural ingredients and using real fruit
essence, each sip will add to the summer
vibe. Simply add soda and ice for that fresh
holiday feeling.
First up, there's the Orange, Grapefruit
& Bitters combination, which makes for a
zesty, refreshing beverage. Then there's the
Raspberry, Rhubarb & Vanilla option, which
smacks of British summer time. And there are
so many spots to enjoy this new offering.
When it comes to rooftop bars or standing
outside a pub, you're spoilt for choice across
London. The south's champion, Brixton, is
positively teeming with seemingly new bars
and pop-ups, and continues to enjoy its recent
surge in popularity. In the north's corner,
Camden has a buzz all year round, yet has
that extra frisson throughout the summer
months as the hordes come flocking, while
Hackney and the east remains achingly
cool. And when it comes to packed pubs and
summer sun, Chelsea takes some beating.
No matter where you congregate, with new
Smirnoff Infusions, there's a fresh tipple to
accompany you and old friends as you make
new memories.

For al fresco dining (studies show that just
two hours a week in a green space is linked
with feeling happier) you're also spoilt for
choice. Clapham Common can look like
the outer reaches of a music festival in the
sunshine season, as young professionals look
to maximise the rays.
But if you're on the hunt for somewhere a
bit more tranquil, try stunning Greenwich
Park. Indeed, those magnificent views of the
capital will remain etched on the retina. Let
your friends provide the food, glasses, soda and
ice (lots of ice); you'll be the one setting trends
with new Smirnoff Infusions.
And, of course, there's the great British
barbecue, with friendship and face-to-face
contact linked to an increase in self-esteem and
lowering stress. Sure, the host has burned the
burgers, the sausages look inedible and those
ribs are, at best, problematic. And what's that?
A spot of rain. No matter. Alleviate the gloom
with a tall glass of Infusions, soda and ice.
Smirnoff Infusions makes for a lighter
beverage compared to many vodka-based
drinks, with one part Infusions to three parts
soda, simply served with ice and fruit. And,
hopefully, plenty of sunshine.
