Nature comes alive, the days get longer and we start looking for lighter and fresher flavors to match the budding season. Spring drinks are a perfect way to celebrate this transition, with ingredients such as citrus fruits, berries, herbs and floral notes. These drinks capture the spring feeling of freshness and vitality, whether served at a spring party, a picnic or a relaxed afternoon in the sun. In this article, we explore the history, cultural significance, variations and role of spring drinks in welcoming the new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vad-ar-en-vardrink\">What is a care drink?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spring drink is a beverage inspired by the flavors and feel of spring. These drinks are often light, refreshing and filled with ingredients that reflect the freshness of the season. Spring drinks can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic and often contain hints of citrus, berries, mint or elderflower. They are perfect for spring social events, from garden parties to brunches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"historiskt-ursprung\">Historical origins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tradition of adapting drinks to the season has been around for centuries.

In Europe, herbs such as mint and basil were used alongside citrus fruits to create refreshing drinks that symbolized the new beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the 19th century, punch became popular in England and other parts of Europe.
