There is an undeniable energy in Detroit during the warmer months. Whether you are uncovering open-air art installations, hunting for fresh finds at local markets, or hanging out on the newly transformed Riverfront, there are seemingly endless ways to fill your summer days.
No matter how you choose to spend your time, ending the day with a perfectly crafted cocktail is always the way to go. On The Rocks takes the guesswork out of hosting, delivering crisp, time-honored classics and vibrant, tropical bar-cart-quality cocktails every time. Here are some of Detroit’s most essential summer experiences, each paired with an On The Rocks™ cocktail!
Spend some time strolling on the Riverfront
Summer is in full swing on the Riverfront – especially with the opening of the brand new Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park! Spend some time exploring this 22-acre park and soaking up the sun. Then, head home and continue the good vibes with a friend over an On The Rocks™ Classic Marg!
Pick up fresh produce at Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market for dinner at home
We love hosting dinners at home on those long summer evenings. Northwest Detroit Farmers’ Market runs from June through to October and is a summer must-visit! Stop by to pick up all the best fresh produce and treats before heading home to prepare a feast. The On The Rocks™ Tropical Variety Pack is the perfect addition to a dinner party, keeping all tastes satisfied.
Soak up some nature at Belle Isle Park
There’s nothing quite like spending some time in nature at Belle Isle Park. Whether you’re having a picnic, birdwatching or just catching up with friends in the sun, it’s an ideal place to spend a summer day. Once the park closes, you can keep the catch up going at home – we suggest having some canned On The Rocks™ Watermelon Margaritas on hand!
Immerse yourself in one of Detroit’s museums or galleries
There is a museum for all tastes in Detroit and summer is a great time to explore! We are really spoiled for choice in Detroit, especially with the range of museums and galleries on offer. You don’t even have to give up the nice weather – why not make a stop at The Heidelberg Project? This entirely outdoor art gallery is so unique, it will leave you wanting to debrief in full after – invite your crew over to yours for an On The Rocks™ Passionfruit Margarita, an ideal accompaniment to those post-gallery chats.
Take advantage of the warm weather with a night out
Nights out in the summer are ideal – no matter what you have planned. While you’re getting ready at home, keep an On The Rocks™ Lemon Drop in hand for the perfect zesty start to a night out.
Zen out with Yoga in the Park
Did you know that you can take a free yoga class in so many of Detroit’s parks throughout the summer? Classes take place on different days at each park and are weekly occurrences. What could be better than grabbing a friend, getting some exercise and spending time outdoors?! After your class, keep those zen vibes going at home with an On The Rocks™ Piña Colada!
Catch a show at an iconic venue like the Fillmore or Fox Theatre
There really is no shortage of incredible venues to see a show in Detroit! Whether you’re opting for comedy, music or anything else, it’s always a good idea to continue the good vibes at home afterwards – with an On The Rocks™ Old Fashioned in hand, of course!
