As the festive season begins and we start to invite friends over for long afternoons in the garden, it’s good to have a few simple cocktail recipes up your sleeve! To celebrate the arrival of the Carlo Bar Trolley by Sika Design (the perfect garden party assistant!) we share two simple recipes that your guests will in most certainly enjoy! A classic Negroni and a Rosé Spritz! Sika Design makes beautifully designed and eminently functional home wear that are made from environmentally friendly rattan.

Nothing is quite as wonderful as a cocktail in the sunshine with friends. Shop Sika Design, here.
