My Favorite Summer Cocktail Recipe

 

One of my favorite summer activities is lounging by the pool with a drink in hand. Sometimes the only way to beat the heat is to get in the water. Or sit half-in, half-out until you feel like the sun is victimizing you (but in a "we're still friends" way). For pool-time activities, it's best to opt for a refreshing, light spritzer rather than hard liquor, especially if you plan on making a full day of it. Here is my go-to recipe for all those sun-bathing weekends and every day in between. This is a festive, berry white-wine spritzer that's perfect for summer and all the America-themed, outdoor holidays. Cheers!

 

What You'll Need

 

- 1 large bottle of semi-sweet white wine
- 2 liter bottle of lemon-lime soda
- 1 box of strawberries
- 1 small box of blueberries
- 1 small box of raspberries
- 1 small box of blackberries
- A gallon pitcher

 

Wash and prep your fruits

 
 

Cut the strawberries into quarters

 
 

Slightly mash the rest of the berries to help them soak

 

Combine all the fruit into the pitcher

 
 

Pop the cork, y'all

 
 

Pour the bottle of wine and the soda to taste

 
 

Stir and refrigerate for at least two hours

 
 

Pour and enjoy!
