As the summer season unfolds, it’s the perfect time to explore and enjoy seasonal drinks. Whether it’s a solo moment of relaxation or a vibrant gathering with friends and family, there’s a special joy in discovering new flavors and supporting Black-owned businesses in the process.
Le Fête Du Rosé for outdoor gatherings
Le Fête Du Rosé, the first Black-owned rosé from St. Tropez, France, brings a multicultural flair to its marketing. Founded by Donae Burston, this eco-friendly and fruity rosé is perfect for picnics and outdoor dining experiences.
Cremas Absalon for a taste of vacation
Reminiscent of an island getaway, Cremas Absalon offers a Haitian rum cream liqueur that’s akin to Puerto Rico’s coquito. They even produce a rum-infused ice cream to keep you cool during the hot summer months.
HH bespoke spirits for evening enjoyment
With a nod to the Harlem Renaissance, HH Bespoke Spirits presents a traditional London Dry style gin reimagined for the modern American palate. It’s an excellent choice for those evening get-togethers with friends.
Uncle Nearest for the solo connoisseur
Uncle Nearest pays homage to Nathan “Nearest” Green, America’s first Black master distiller. Known for perfecting the Lincoln County Process that defines Tennessee whiskey, Green also mentored Jack Daniels. The Uncle Nearest brand, established in 2019 in Tennessee, celebrates this African American whiskey legend.
As you savor these exquisite selections, you’re not just enjoying a drink; you’re partaking in a rich history and supporting the legacy of Black entrepreneurs in the wine and spirits industry. Cheers to a summer filled with good times and great drinks!
