Summer Spritzer
Okay so yesterday I posted a nice summer party drink that is light, fresh and aimed at those of you that like to have a drink.
But I got thinking about those of you that don't drink (alcohol). So I made this drink yesterday which looks exactly like the other one, but is a non alcoholic variety.
This also is a great drink that would be perfect at your next party, whether it be a birthday, Christmas or New Years party.
This drink is light, it is pretty and it tastes lovely.
It is also great as you can make large quantities of it, or just keep making it fresh as it runs out, as it is that simple.
Don't forget to freeze strawberry slices in advance. But if you do, just serve with fresh strawberries.
If when you taste it, you feel it is too sweet, dilute it with some sparkling mineral water, you control the flavour
Now I used Fronti White Sparkling Grape drink, as I just picked it up at my supermarket, but I will try it with other drinks later, so use whatever brand you can find.
So cheers everyone, here's to the festive season.
