Strawberry Blueberry Lemonade Spritzer

You might not be able to tell by the crazy spring weather we are having but Memorial Day is fast approaching. Memorial Day for me is the kick off of the summer season and all things BBQ, grilling and backyard entertaining. When we moved to Cleveland, we were lucky to find a house with a beautiful backyard that we can enjoy during the warm months. It is the perfect place to entertain guests and this Strawberry Blueberry Lemonade Spritzer would be a typical drink I would serve.

Since I am currently pregnant I always make two pitchers, one as a cocktail with vodka and triple sec and one without the alcohol. It tastes wonderful either way! Who doesn’t love a refreshing, sweet lemonade with a little bubbles on a warm, summer day?

I especially love the colors of this drink and how festive they are. This Strawberry Blueberry Lemonade Spritzer would be a great addition to 4th of July parties too! When I make this drink I muddle half of the strawberries and a handful of mint leaves together creating a sweet, minty flavor for the lemonade. It kind of reminds me of a mojito but instead of the limes it uses fresh lemon juice. I always serve my cocktails and mocktails in mason jars when entertaining because I love the rustic feel they add to a party.
