As the Rio 2016 fades into the memory books, the Olympic
spirit and celebrations can continue long after the Olympic flame has gone
dark. Olympic inspiration has crossed over into many aspects of people’s lives.
One easy way to keep the spirit alive is with an Olympic inspired cocktail.
Whether your taste bud crave a tart libation or a sweeter
digestif, William Grant & Sons has curated an Olympic themed cocktail that
will quench your thirst. From gold medal winners to good sportsmanship, these
Olympic themed cocktails are perfect any time, not just every Olympic year.
