The Splendid Table did a special this weekend on spritzes which sounded wonderful to me, particularly because they could be made alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

The premise of the drink was a bitter liqueur or a bitter acid, something bubbly (either a champagne or a club soda), and a wine or a juice. Either way you make it, it sounded incredibly refreshing.

I heard this on the radio while I was driving so I don't have an immediate reference at hand.

Not fancy but I'm drinking a lot of Moscow mules lately.

eta - I also want to try a watermelon Paloma. Purée watermelon to make a juice, mix with tequila blanco.

Prosecco with a splash of St. Germaine.

I love aperol spritzes, champagne, aperol, bitters and solerano.

Splendid Table seems to think they're in season this year

My favorite summer drink is The Forecast - habanero-infused vodka, muddled cucumber, thai lime, lemon
It's summer in a glass.

The Pellegrino sodas are so good. I want to have the grapefruit or lemon one with gin.

I want lemonade with muddled mint and vodka

I want to make mohitos with lemongrass in them because I think they taste like Thai food in the best way already.

I think blueberries and basil muddled with sugar, soda, and maybe vodka or gin.

I want a champagne cocktail with bitters and a sugar cube but with some fresh strawberry puree as well.

I love making strawberry thyme lemonade in the summer. If you're a fan of gin, that might work. I smash up some thyme and strawberries in the bottom of a pitcher, then add lemonade and sliced strawberries. Let it sit for a few hours for the flavors to mix.

I'm drinking pear vodka with coconut La Croix and a splash of cranberry. It's pretty good. I want all the summer cocktails right now. It's going to be 117 degrees this weekend.

Not really a cocktail, but last summer I loved making a big pitcher of watermelon sangria for a summer night. Add rose or white wine, watermelon, and vodka.

[meganew]

I love lemonade with ice, a splash of blueberry vodka and some blueberries thrown in. Mmmmmmm.

We made this the other day is was very refreshing.

2 oz whiskey + 1 oz St. Germaine + dash of bitters +twist of lemon peel = delightful!

I have all of these things. Hump day project tomorrow!

Last weekend we took a small watermelon and cut the top off. We scooped it out and blended with vodka and lime juice. Poured it back into watermelon and chilled prior to drinking. It was quite good.

A Moscow mule, but sub grapefruit vodka for regular vodka. So refreshing and tasty.

Malibu rum
Coconut lacroix
Splash of pineapple juice
On ice in tall skinny glass with hunk of pineapple with rind garnish and cool straw

Lavender honey bees knees.

Make a simple syrup with honey/water & lavender. Strain lavender & cool.

2oz gin, 2oz lemon juice, 1oz simple syrup. Shake with ice, strain. My absolute favorite.

[Linie]

I could live on Aperol Spritz or Campari Spritz, made with wine or prosecco

[candreco]

I like a clear ginger beer with light spiced/citrusy rum and a wedge of lime. Kind of like a summer dark & stormy.

I have been muddling mint, adding about half a shot of Belvoir elderflower cordial, vodka, ice and club soda. Yum.
