Cocktail Week is a celebration of the burgeoning cocktail culture in the country. We celebrate Cocktail week every year to enjoy the tasty alcoholic drinks we have come to know and love. Cocktails remind us of vacations on sandy beaches, relaxing pool-side lounges, or just Friday night out with friends or family. Coming out of a lockdown and Covid restrictions, we are not mired with worries and hence it’s a perfect excuse to get together for a fun sundowner with our friends and family, albeit with relevant precautions. This Cocktail Week, make your bond deeper with your loved ones and Cutty Sark Scotch Whisky famed for celebrating true friendship. These sensational cocktails curated by Kyndal with the gentle vanilla and citrus aromas of Cutty Sark Blended Scotch Whisky are sure to create a burst of flavourful joy.
