‘Love Island’ Cocktails That Bring All the Villa Vibes to Your Watch Party
Bombay Sapphire - Sparkling Lemon
Is anyone already obsessed with the new season of Love Island? I have to admit that I haven’t tapped into the latest season just yet. I’ve got a few more Real Housewives episodes to binge before I start a new series, but now that a few Love Island-inspired cocktails have dropped, I’m feeling a little more motivated.
Whether you're hosting a villa-themed watch party or cozying up to your laptop for a more intimate viewing party, the following cocktails are the perfect companion for every recoupling, bombshell arrival, and dramatic fire pit chat. And maybe they’ll even inspire you to mix up a signature Love Island cocktail of your own.
Have you started Love Island yet? If so, what cocktail do you think matches the vibe of the new season so far?
