Spring is the season for something lighter: bright, floral and full of renewal.
Spring is a season of fresh starts, and the best cocktails lean into that feeling: light, bright and a little bit hopeful.
As days lengthen and gardens come back to life, guests want a glass that matches the mood, crisp citrus, delicate florals and produce that feels genuinely seasonal.
At Shake & Strain Bar, spring menus are one of our favourite moments of the year to design.
Spring is a season built around renewal, and the best spring menus lean into that feeling.
Spring cocktails invite movement: garden parties, outdoor ceremonies, long lunches that spill into golden hour.
The drinks follow suit, lighter in body, brighter in colour and built to be sipped rather than nursed.
Elderflower, thyme, lavender and edible blossoms bring a delicate perfume that captures the season better than any garnish trend.
Gin, vodka and lighter aperitifs step forward this time of year, giving drinks room to feel crisp rather than heavy.
Strawberries, rhubarb, citrus and stone fruit start appearing again, bringing natural sweetness without needing much help from syrup.
Pastel tones, edible flowers and glassware that lets colour shine all reinforce the feeling of a season starting fresh.
Gin and tonic variations built with elderflower, cucumber or lavender bring a garden party feel to any glass.
Rosé spritzes topped with soda or prosecco are effortless crowd pleasers for daytime and golden hour events alike.
A classic sour reworked with fresh thyme, basil or mint adds complexity without losing that light spring character.
Strawberry, rhubarb or citrus coolers, shaken hard and served long, are some of the most requested drinks on any spring menu.
Pastel palettes and floral garnishes make spring one of the most popular seasons for wedding bars, and the cocktails should match the styling.
Bright, photogenic drinks give outdoor brand moments an extra layer of polish.
Light, elegant serves suit the more intimate, daytime nature of these gatherings.
A refreshing spring menu keeps guests comfortable at outdoor events, matched to the milder weather of the season.
Every spring menu we build starts with what's actually in season, strawberries, rhubarb, blood orange, mint, basil and elderflower are all easy to source and simple to work with behind the bar.
From there, we balance lighter spirits with just enough structure to keep each drink interesting, and style the glassware and garnish to match the season's natural colour palette.
The goal is always the same: a menu that feels like it could only exist right now.
Let's build a spring cocktail menu that matches the season and your celebration.
