Let’s start this Summer off with light and refreshing cocktails!
I discovered the aperol spritz while we were in Rome (everyone drinks them there!), and since we’ve been back, I’ve made them at least 4 times – and I see no end in sight! We just love this drink! It is, to me, the Summer cocktail. It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit bitter, and has a killer fizz going on. It’s also light enough to drink before, with, and after meals. What more could we ask for in a cocktail?
The fact that it only calls for 3 ingredients and 3 minutes of prep time is just the icing on the cake! Cheers to a great Summer!!! xoxo

My summer cocktails have gotten rather redundant already. Vodka soda lemon. Prosecco. Rose. The occasional beer, that’s it. Need these in my life, spice it up a bit!
Caroline says
