It's official!


Summer has arrived! Well, it is officially summer but here at Coole Swan we're not too sure if we have the summer weather yet! It is the May Bank Holiday though so we are going to make the most of it. Some Coole Swan on ice or cocktails? We can't decide! And we have lots of tastings coming up over the next few days in locations all across Ireland. Check out our Facebook page here for all the locations.

See you there!

A busy few weeks!

It's been really busy here at Coole Swan the past few weeks. There was Mother's Day, Easter, lots of tastings, even some filming for a few videos we have in store for you. We really can't wait to share these but they're still top secret at the moment! 
In between all of this, of course there was time for a cocktail or two. Why not try this Coole Swan Lemon Chiller? A perfect cocktail for the Spring and it's great if you're short on time, just like us!


Ingredients
50ml Coole Swan
17.5ml Limoncello

Combine all of the ingredients together in a shaker with plenty of ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice.
Garnish with a lemon twist or flamed lemon zest.

Enjoy!

Spring has arrived!


 Spring has finally arrived here in County Cavan. The average rainfall here is 928mm per year so we're quite happy to see a bit of sunshine! We are now patiently awaiting the arrival of barbeques, cocktails and longer evenings. Speaking of cocktails, check out some of our summer cocktail recipes here. You're sure to find one that suits your taste buds!
