The warmer weather calls for get-togethers that feel as fresh as the season itself. And there’s no better way to toast the change than with cocktails or mocktails that mirror the mood: light, bright and effortlessly stylish. Just like our home fragrances, these drinks are about setting a tone - easy to mix, made to share and inspired by nature’s most uplifting ingredients.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, drinks in the garden, or a lazy long lunch or dinner, here’s how to build a cocktail offering that truly complements the moment.
Step1: Choose Simple, Seasonal Cocktails
Start with a tight selection of drinks that are easy to prep and even easier to love. Fresh fruit, herbs and soda water do most of the heavy lifting here - alcohol is optional. We’ve taken inspiration from some of our most-loved scents to guide your menu.
Watermelon& Coconut Cooler
Inspired by: Watermelon & Coconut
Hydrating, tropical, and pretty in a glass - this one’s basically sunshine in cocktail form.
Blend 1 cup fresh Watermelon with ½ cup Coconut Water, a squeeze of Lime and Ice. Add 45ml White or Coconut Rum (or omit for a mocktail). Serve with a Mint sprig or Lime wheel.
Serve near the matching candle to echo its
juicy tropical notes.
Lychee & Ginger Sparkler
Inspired by: Lychee & Rose
Delicate and fizzy with a hint of heat, this one pairs well with slow afternoons or golden hour aperitivo.
Muddle 4 fresh Lychees, add 45 mL Vodka, a splash of Ginger Ale and a squeeze of Lemon. Top with Sparkling Water and serve over Ice.
Place the Lychee & Rose Fragrance Diffuser on your bar or drinks area for a fruity scent that enhances the atmosphere.
Tropical Pear & Lime Refresher
Inspired by: Pear & Lime
Crisp, zesty, and unexpectedly elegant. The Gin adds a botanical edge that makes it feel grown-up.
Mix 1 cup Pear Juice with ½ cup Soda Water and 45 mL Gin. Add Lime juice and a Pear slice or a sprig of Rosemary to garnish.
Place the matching Hand Wash in your bathroom to carry the theme throughout your space.
Step2: Prep Ahead So You Can Relax
Cut fruit, wash herbs and pre-chill ingredients so your setup feels smooth. A drinks station with garnishes and mixers means guests can top up themselves, and you can keep the mood flowing
Step 3: Create The Space
Set the scene with cheerful tableware, linen napkins and thoughtful details designed to keep guests comfortable. The Alchemy Alfresco Mandarin & Neroli Outdoor Candle gives a fresh citrus fragrance that not only lifts the mood but helps keep bugs away too. With notes of Mandarin, Rose, Orange Blossom, and Honey, it’s a beautiful balance of form and function - housed in a ceramic vessel that doubles as a striking centrepiece.
Step4: Add The Finishing Touches
Just like a well-balanced cocktail, it’s the little things that elevate the experience. Tie citrus peels around glasses or decorate your drinks station with edible flowers and sliced fruit. Our 70g candles bring fragrance and a flattering flicker to the occasion. Choose one scent to throw around the space, or mix them to create a fragrance all your own. Oceanique and Sea Salt & Vanilla pair beautifully.
However you serve it, a fresh spring cocktail menu is an invitation to gather, relax and soak up the season. Discover all of our spring-perfect scents.
