For the Joyful: A Bright and Bubbly Celebration in a Glass
Sometimes, all you need is a little fizz, a splash of colour, and a drink that makes you smile — and that’s exactly what For the Joyful delivers. This feel-good cocktail combines the delicate floral notes of Bloom London Dry Gin with the cool, fruity sparkle of Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon. Add a garnish of fresh strawberry and a lemon wheel, and you’ve got a light, fragrant serve that’s bursting with freshness and charm.
For the Joyful is the kind of drink that lifts your mood the moment it’s poured. It’s refreshingly simple, but still manages to feel elegant and celebratory — a perfect balance of crisp cucumber, juicy watermelon, botanical gin and citrus. Serve it in a highball glass over ice, and it becomes a glass of pure joy — ideal for toasting good times, big wins, or just the beauty of a sunny afternoon.
Why We Love It
There’s a reason we call this one For the Joyful — it’s pure, unfiltered happiness in cocktail form. It’s a brilliant alternative to heavier, spirit-forward serves and offers a clean, refreshing profile that’s easy to enjoy any time of day. The botanicals from the Bloom gin shine through without overpowering, while the Double Dutch mixer adds gentle fizz and a soft sweetness that rounds everything out beautifully.
Perfect For…
This cocktail is a crowd-pleaser that suits just about every occasion. It’s an ideal serve for brunches, birthdays, garden parties and baby showers, but works equally well as a chic aperitif before dinner. It’s light, low-effort and always looks stunning thanks to the vibrant garnish. If you’re hosting, it’s a great drink to prepare ahead — just have your fruit sliced and ready to go for quick, effortless presentation.
Double Dutch Mixer Match
Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon is the heart of this cocktail. Its refreshing cucumber notes pair perfectly with the gin, while the watermelon adds subtle fruitiness and a smooth finish. Together, they create a crisp and cooling base that makes every sip feel light and invigorating.
Serving Tips
- Use a tall highball glass: It keeps the drink cool and showcases the beautiful garnish.
- Slice strawberries thinly: They’ll float on the surface and release subtle sweetness as you sip.
- Fresh lemon is key: A wheel of lemon not only adds zing, but brings a burst of citrus aroma with every lift of the glass.
So whether you're raising a glass to someone special or simply treating yourself to a moment of joy, the For the Joyful cocktail is the perfect way to say: here’s to happiness, here’s to now, and here’s to flavour that feels like sunshine.
