With the summer coming to an end, it seems only fitting that I share with you my summer tipple so you can try it out for yourself before the season is over. It’s light and refreshing and is guaranteed to cool you off during this last summer heat wave.

So, let’s cheers to summer shall we?

You’ll Need This…

4 fl oz Gin
16 fl oz Lemonade
8 Fresh Strawberries
Sparkling Mineral Water
Ice

Serves 2 (or 1, if you’re really parched and have a penchant for gin.)

Now, Do This..

Slice strawberries.

Pour 8 fl oz of lemonade into a tall glass or tumbler. If you’ve read my August Obsessions, you’ll know I’m quite partial to SUJA Lemon Love. So naturally, I’m using it for this recipe but I’m sure any lemonade will do.

Top lemonade with strawberry slices, then add 2 fl oz of Gin. I used Citadelle Gin because it’s what I had on hand, but if you’ve never tried Citadelle Gin I highly recommend it. It has a clean, crisp flavor.

Top with ice and a splash of sparkling mineral water.

… and viola!
May you carouse and your glass never run out.
