On Sardinia's shores, where turquoise waves meet,
A Blue Summersimo, a tropical treat.
With rum and curaçao, a vibrant hue,
Pineapple and lime, a dream come true.

Coconut whispers, a creamy delight,
Sparkling water bubbles, under the sunlight.
Pineapple and cherry, a playful art,
A sip of Sardinia, a joyful start.

Pane carasau crisp, with flavors untold,
Fregola con arselle, a story of old.
Porceddu's aroma, seadas so sweet,
A culinary journey, a taste bud's retreat.

Cala Brandinchi's charm, a tranquil space.
With every sip, let your worries depart,
Summersimo's magic, fills every heart.

A Dash of Sparkle, a Pinch of a Smile: Tips & Tricks

  • Chill Out: Make sure all your ingredients are well-chilled before shaking.

  • “Fregola con Arselle”: This traditional Sardinian pasta dish, made with tiny couscous-like pasta and clams, is a taste of the sea.

  • “Seadas”: These fried pastries, filled with cheese and drizzled with honey, are a sweet ending to any meal.

Where to Drink It: Beachside Bliss
