Blueberry Rosemary Spritz Cocktail
Since everyone collectively took a journey through a global pandemic, I’d be lying if I said that our liquor cabinet hasn’t grown quite a bit.
Hey guys, Courtney here. This past weekend, the weather in NYC exceeded 90 degrees, which meant that fruity spritzers replaced heavy IPAs and sundresses replaced sweatpants.
I’d been craving an easy-to-make, yet kind of bougie summer cocktail, and stumbled upon this Blueberry Rosemary libation on Coley Cooks.
Made with fresh blueberries, rosemary, vodka, lemon, simple syrup, and club soda, this cocktail is refreshing and delicious sans the insane amount of sugar that my usual go-tos come with (although I am always down for a pina colada).
I love that it comprises fresh produce and comes out a bright, pink/purple color. I made these on Friday night before dinner, and by Saturday at 1pm, I was already in the mood for another one (don’t judge, haha).
The recipe below makes two cocktails, so double everything if you’re having seconds or guests.
