In researching the traditions of cocktails, mocktails, and finding inspiration in the outdoor spaces of the world, we stumbled upon Salamanca – an old world Spanish city settled over 2700 years ago. Here, citrus gardens cast shade across tiled patios, fountains bubble quietly among the oleander and terracotta pots spill over with summer blooms. Each passing breeze wafts the scent of rosemary and mint.

When the sun hangs longer in the sky and the air is thick with dandelion and honey, we will find any and all excuses to be outside and live just a bit more deeply. Summer offers the perfect opportunity for the get-togethers that elevate this feeling: lounging with friends in the garden, tea-time aperitifs laid upon grass and romantic dinners on the patio as the stars emerge.

In crafting your own version of the summer spread, inspiration can be found through the setting of the table. Colorful coupes, handmade plates, artfully crumpled linens.. these are details that speak to a heritage of hospitality and make the occasion all the more special. We hope you find many opportunities as such in the warm days and nights to come. Cheers!
