Summer Drinks

Some of my favorite memories of the summer are of the evenings spent on the patio, soaking in the sun, and sipping on my favorite drink. It's the perfect combination after a long day and spending the time just sitting and reflecting in nature is AMAZING!

Here are some of my favorite recipes of summer drinks:

Mixed Berry Cooler

One of my favorite drinks to bring to a virtual HH. You can even skip the alcohol and it can be a nice addition to a quiet dinner at home. Cheers!

Ingredients:

- Choice of Wine (I love Moscato, but you can choose whatever alcohol you prefer)

- Sprite & Ice Coconut Pineapple Sparkling Water

- Berry Concoction (boil sugar, berries, and 3 cups of water until reduction for a simple syrup)

- Chaat Masala (for the rim and a tsp in the drink)

- Lime and Blueberries for garnish

Ratio for this is 1:2:1 (alcohol:sprite:berry concoction)

Strawberry Limonata (Olive Garden Inspired)

If you've been to Olive Garden and have tried their Strawberry Limonata drink then you'll love this one! It's a berry easy recipe and only requires 3-4 ingredients! Perfect for at home happy hours + chill summer evenings!

Recipe:

- Sparkling Ice - Strawberry Lemonade Flavor

- Sprite

- Chaat Masala (1-2 tsp per glass)

- Choice of wine or vodka (optional).

- Fruits for garnish + flavor (strawberries + mint + lime)

Mix the sparkling ice and sprite in a 1:2 ratio and add the fruits in for an added flavor. Enjoy!
