Spring Cocktail Recipe

Happy Spring! Today marks the first day of Spring and although we might see a little more snow and cold weather, it is a much needed reminder that the end IS near! If there was ever a day worth celebrating, it’s definitely today. Let’s toast to warmer weather with this fruity, bright colored cocktail and HOPE we don’t see snow for at least another 8 months!

First Day of Spring Cocktail Recipe:

2 oz. Smirnoff Sorbet Light Pineapple Coconut vodka
2 oz. orange juice
Juice from half a lemon
1 oz. simple syrup*
3 oz. sparkling water

Pour everything over ice and give it a quick stir.

Cheers!

*Here’s how you can make simple syrup. Make a smaller batch by just pouring equal parts sugar + water in a microwave safe dish and stirring until dissolved and clear. Refrigerate until cold before using.
