Memorable Moments You Should Honour With Happy Hour
4 Memorable Moments You Should Honour With Happy Hour
There's more to happy hour than half-priced drinks after work. At its core, the tradition is about making time in your busy day to get together with friends and ensure that you savour every second you have to spare — and it’s just as special when celebrated at home as it is in a crowded bar. From career milestones and relationship moments you'll remember forever, to fitness goals and everyday victories, here are some well-deserved reasons to celebrate with a delicious, fruity, effervescent drink like Gallo Spritz. Cheers!
A Besties Reunion
As careers and relationships cause us to scatter geographically, life's responsibilities get in the way, and schedules get tighter, meeting up with old friends becomes increasingly difficult to coordinate. Text messages, emails, and phone calls are important, but there's no substitute for getting around a table with your besties and enjoying a glass or two of your favourite drink. This summer, invite your friends over for a beautiful BBQ in the garden. Make sure to open a few bottles of Gallo Spritz in fresh tasting, seasonal flavours like Wild Strawberry, Raspberry & Lime, Peach and Nectarine, and Pineapple and Passionfruit. Friends who make the intervening weeks, months, and years feel like five minutes are an essential support system, so honour them with happy hour, and you'll only have more moments and achievements to celebrate in between. We'll raise a glass to that.
A Career Milestone
All work and no play is the fastest route to burn out, so it's important to pause, acknowledge, and celebrate your achievements at work — at every opportunity. Get some friends together for a happy hour at home where you can pat yourself on the back for completing a project that once felt impossible, earning a promotion that you've been working toward, or finally landing your dream job. The fruity flavour profile of Gallo Spritz offers an excellent twist on the classic glass of bubbly to celebrate your professional progress. And if you don't have a special reason? Surviving the daily grind and maintaining a work-life balance is enough!

Smashing a Fitness Goal
Whether it's increasing your running pace, lifting a higher weight, finishing a race, or mastering a headstand, everyone who has ever reached a fitness goal knows that there are no shortcuts. Sticking to a fitness routine and seeing progress takes persistence, time, sweat, and sometimes (!) tears, so never miss an opportunity to thank yourself with good food, rest, and happy hour. Celebrate the completion of a gruelling workout by inviting your workout buddies over for a post-sweat session brunch complete with a fruity, delicately fizzed glass of Gallo Spritz, which offers a delicious taste with low alcohol — only 5.5%. Who says you can't enjoy a glass of bubbly while making progress towards your fitness goals? You've earned it.
Relationship Progress
Engagements are an excellent reason to share a bottle with your significant other (or your girls, while giving the scoop), but there are plenty of smaller relationship moments that also merit a little fizz. Take advantage of the beautiful weather with a garden engagement party complete with custom cocktails. Enhance the flavour of your Gallo Spritz by adding freshly cut fruit to the glass for the ultimate refreshing beverage. If you've managed to come through a testing time with a partner or a friend, a celebratory happy hour is the perfect way to toast your deepening relationship and open a new chapter.
