Hiking to a waterfall

Not much beats the feeling of a lungful of bushland air and the cooling spray of a fresh waterfall gently hitting your face. Add some chilled Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic to the mix and you've got yourself a truly memorable summer outing. Pack an esky or one of those fancy insulated backpacks if you're a hiking expert with a four-pack of Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic. You'll get to take in the sights, get some rigorous exercise in (depending on your hike course and skill level) and be rewarded with a crisp alcohol-free drink at the end of your journey. Don't know where to start? Don't worry, we've got you. Check out our guides to the best waterfall walks in NSW and Victoria and plan accordingly.

Relaxing on a boat

The sun is high and the water is beckoning. Gather your crew and hit the water with a hired or your own boat (lucky you). Whether you're having a party or focussing on yacht-propelling machinations, a cold Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic on board will keep your cheer afloat. A crowded boat party can be a boozy affair, so feel assured that you can keep your sealegs sturdy without scrimping on taste with a frosty Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic to sip on deck. And if you're floating solo or in a smaller group you can unwind with stunning water views and one of these delightfully zero-fuss premixes in the afternoon sun. For quick and easy boat hire (with BYO options) hit up GoBoat in Melbourne or Floatspace in Sydney.

Now this is what summer is all about – refreshing dips in the ocean then stretching out on your towel in the sun with a bevvy in hand. Feel the sand between your toes and relax with an ice-cold Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic. The crisp juniper-lead flavours and hint of lime will be a welcome summery treat for your sunbaked tastebuds. Remember to load up on the sunscreen, wear a hat and arrive with a beachy game or two (volleyball, anyone?) to make the most of your seaside day out. Pack a cooler bag with ice packs, watermelon wedges, some salty snacks and a four-pack of Gordon's Alcohol Free & Tonic for a long day of lazing about listening to waves. Hit up our comprehensive guides to the best beaches in Melbourne and Sydney to plan your day.
