ABSOLUT CARAFE Cocktails: A Taste of Summer

Summer may have forgotten about Sydney this year but there’s no reason to start drinking hot toddies and mulled wine. The ABSOLUT CARAFE Collective brings eight carafe-style cocktails with flavour profiles that include the fruity, the tropical and the spicy.
