3 of Our Favorite Spring Cocktails!

Benches pulled out of storage, umbrellas unfurled, and cocktail menus retooled to match the coming-alive world. Looking back at this time last year, much of your springtime drinking likely happened in the confines of your home (and your backyard, if you’re lucky enough to have one). This year, with vaccines coming out, there’s hope that things will slowly go back to normal. So, it seems appropriate to whip something up to celebrate this coming season!

Elderflower Cocktail With Champagne

An elderflower cocktail is a fantastic, refreshing cocktail that will make a delightful addition to brunch or any garden party. It is both floral and sparkling, the perfect drink to enjoy on a spring day.

Springtime Rosé Spritzer

This easy-sipper is light and refreshing, without being too heavy in alcohol. It’s a group favorite and great for any occasion but reminds us of Mother’s Day Brunches, Tea Parties, and Bridal Showers.

Instructions

1. Place 1 – 2 tablespoons of fresh strawberries and 2 – 3 lemon slices in the bottom of an old-fashioned glass.
2. Muddle well until juicy.
3. Fill glass with ice to the top.
4. Add rosé, then top with sparkling water or club soda to taste.

3. Taste and add more simple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
