From Harmattan Whiskey to Rainy-Day Sips: Drinks for Every Season

In Naija, the weather is a way of life, and so is what we drink.

When the sun steps out, it’s serving heat.  And the heat is 100% heating, we reach for chilled, refreshing sips. When the rain comes through and the nights cool down, we lean into deeper, richer flavors. Every season deserves its own drink moment.

Fruity sodas and refreshing beers keep sunny days fun. Cooler nights are made for tequila, whiskey, and vodka, plus bold dark beers like Guinness. And yes, red wine always tastes better when the weather is a little dramatic.

The rule is simple: drink with the season.

And right now? Dry season heat is loud.

Here’s how to keep it cool:

Fever-Tree Raspberry Rhubarb – Crisp, fruity, and perfectly bubbly. Great with lightly spiced snacks.

Smirnoff Ice Pineapple – Tropical, juicy, and refreshing. Pair with light seafood or salty bites.

Monkey Shoulder – Smooth blended malt whiskey with citrus notes, perfect with chocolate and sweet snacks. Mixed to give a refreshing taste.

Glenfiddich 23yrs Grand Cru - Some prominent notes of apple blossom, sweet brioche, and sandalwood. Best paired with smoked salmon, creamy cheeses, or premium dark chocolate. 

Label 5 - Blended Scotch whiskey known for its vibrant honeyed malt and sweet vanilla. Best paired with sausage roll, puff-puff, or ginger biscuits.

From whiskey to Guinness to red wine, BottleKing has a pour and mix for every season and every mood.
