But before we get into it...
What does alfresco mean?
Alfresco is an Italian word meaning ‘outdoors’ most common for picnics, barbecues or dining outdoors and having outdoor entertainment. Generally, people start alfresco dining during the warmer months as it can be accompanied by a selection of Alcoholic drinks - wine, gin, champagne and beer being the regular go to drinks.
Whether you're after an Aperol spritz bottle in the sun or craft beer selection by the riverside, here's a list of recommended drinks to pair with your outdoor gatherings.
Rosé All The Way
We may not be able to recline in a lounger by a pool in Palmer this bank holiday weekend, but what we can do is soak up the opportunity to relax AND day drink in the comfort of our own garden. And let's face it, you will be saving money as well as getting tipsy, especially with our bottles of Halfpenny English Rose; swanky and tasty, at a fraction of the price.
You can pair this beauty with some fresh fruits, cheese and crackers or a home mashup of tapas supplies from your local supermarket. And voila! It’s just like you were in the South of France.
