St. Germaine and Prosecco Fizz

I was introduced to St. Germaine last summer and LOVED the taste! So, in my true form, began to think of what I can do to add my own spin to it. I also love the fizz and taste of Prosecco and who does not like a hint of lime? I thought of a rumless Mojito with a kiss of Italian Culture. I came up with this recipe and it was an instant hit at the party. We had to run out and make a second batch. - The Tall Guy & The Handsome Guy

Vodka-Spiked Loganberry Lemonade

As all great pool drinks are, this cocktail was born from the booze and juices I had on hand. (Who wants to leave the party for a store run? Not I.) On a hot day, I mixed up just enough vodka for two, lemonade, and a splash or so of a Clear Creek Distillery loganberry liqueur from our weekend trip to Portland. Voila: this sweet but not cloying summer drink came into being.

Watermelon Slush

I came up with this when trying to dispense of a whole watermelon that was consuming way too much real estate. It's so easy I'm not sure you can even call it a recipe but it's refreshing, it tastes like summer and it gets the job done. - Summer of Eggplant

Campari Citrus

My partner is Italian and makes limoncello at home, but it's strong. We wanted a drink to temper the limoncello that was not too sweet for a hot day. We are itching to try it with Aperol instead of the Campari as well.

Sugar Cane and Ginger Infused Vodka

I love infusing my own Vodka from cucumber to cinnamon to Sugarcane Juice (in this recipe). Pairing them with foods is even more fun than infusing them. Cheers!

Relatively Guilt-free Grapefruit Cocktail

In my experience, sitting in a bathing suit makes a person eat and drink lighter...I bought grapefruit vodka on a whim and rediscovered Fresca which I hadn't had in years. Grapefruit juice ice cubes are great because as they melt in the oppressive Texas heat your cocktail doesn't get watered down.

Cherry Drop

This summertime cocktail is a cross between a classic lemon drop and an aviation--The addition of a heavenly Luxardo maraschino cherry and a splash of homemade selzer water softens the strong flavors of the lemon and vodka and gives a nice softness to the sugary simple syrup. This drink is fantastic served in a martini glass with the cherry resting at the bottom, or over ice. I coat the rim of each glass with lemon juice and sugar, or as requested on one very festive day--pop rocks candy!

Makes 2 Cherry Drops

Rhubarb Lime Spring Spritzer

When a neighbor let me pick rhubarb, I found ALittleZaftig's recipe for One-pot Rhubarb Cordial, Sauce, & Compote (http://www.food52.com/recipes/12016_onepot_rhubarb_cordial_sauce_compote). When I finished making it tonight, I really wanted a cool, refreshing drink in my hot kitchen on this early June night.. A little sweet, a little tart, a lovely pale pink -- this is the result, delightful!

Tuscancello Fizz

Summertime dinners in Tuscany end with limoncello and the scent of lavender wafting through the soft air. This fizzy drink pays a tribute to those evenings. (You can make your own lavender-infused simple syrup or buy a bottle of Monin brand. You can also make your own limoncello or use your favorite store-bought brand.)
