Presented by It may be September, but that doesn’t mean summer is over! It's still officially summer until September 23, and if the weather forecast has anything to say about it—it's supposed to feel like get super hot in some areas of the country this week—we'll be soaking up the sun until the very last minute. Which is actually a pretty great thing! It's common knowledge that summer in Canada is magic. From fun vibes and pretty terrasses to beautiful weather and epic festivals, we do summer right every single year! And, of course, this year was no different. Although summer 2019 might be inching to a close on the outside... Well, we can always keep summer alive in our hearts. And in our drinks. BACARDÍ has concocted five fresh summer cocktails curated specifically to keep the vibes alive no matter what season you're in. And although sipping on these tasty and simple-to-make creations at home won't replace swaying to the music at BACARDÍ Bay at Montreal's Osheaga or Ilesoniq, BC's FVDED In The Park or Cavendish Beach Music Festival in PEI, it just proves that no matter where you are, you can make summer's vibes last forever with the right tools! BACARDÍ Canada With headliners Zedd, Khalid, Tory Lanez, and French Montana, FVDED brought some of the coolest names in EDM and hip hop to B.C. Keep these vibes going all year long with the BACARDÍ Coconut & Pineapple.
