Whether it’s watching a movie at home or sharing a meal, Sundays are the perfect time to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the company of others.

As one of the most popular aperitifs in Italy, the Aperol Spritz is both tasty and refreshing and is a drink suited for any occasion or time of day. The Aperol is low in alcohol, aromatic with citrus and slightly bitter, and is combined with chilled Cinzano Prosecco and a splash of soda water. These ingredients should be mixed into a wine glass and stirred, and then served with either an orange wheel or slice to complete this cocktail that goes well with relaxing with friends or relatives on Sundays.

This variation of the classic margarita requires golden tequila, and the Jose Cuervo Gold is especially suited to the task. The Cuervo Gold is a golden-style woven tequila made from a blend of aged reposado as well as younger tequilas. It is then mixed with the Jose Cuervo Margarita Mix, which can then be served on the rocks or frozen with crushed ice, classic lime, strawberry lime, mango, and pineapple to complete this cocktail that should be in every Sunday party.

There are two ways to enjoy Ballantine’s Finest, one of the world’s bestselling blended Scotch whiskeys. One of these is to drink the whisky as is, and the other is to drink it with a cola to create a classic whisky-cola mix. Once you fill a glass with ice and a shot of Ballantine’s, you can add cola and stir and squeeze a wedge of lime into it before serving. This particular cocktail has well-balanced subtle flavors and tones of milk chocolate, red apple, and vanilla and a sophisticated and fresh finish with a floral and rounded glow.

The Americano features Campari, red vermouth, and soda water, which are poured into a glass with ice and mixed before adding a half orange slice for garnish. With low alcohol content and a bittersweet, bubbly taste the Americano is a light and flavorful cocktail that goes well with the rest and relaxation that people prefer to have on Sundays.
