This summer, Perdeberg Wines invites wine lovers and cocktail connoisseurs to get creative with its newly developed range of summer cocktail recipes. Simply add its popular easy-drinking and fruit-driven Soft Smooth Range (SSR), a few other ingredients, whip out a swizzle stick and you’re good to go.
