It’s summer again people. Let’s start acting like it!
With that said, a lot of my upcoming
recipes are Summer-related as well as some twists on classic favorites.
On
Monday, look out for my Spicy Asian Potato Salad that will knock the yellow
mushy store bought version out of the water!
But today I have a summer favorite
with a grown up twist:
Who doesn’t love strawberry lemonade?
It’s refreshing, crisp, and perfect for the heat. My version gives that fun,
refreshing tartness with a grown-up addition crisp prosecco and tart-sweet
limoncello. This is a drink for those of use who like pulp. Aaron doesn’t, so
for once I got this delight to myself.
This is good served in a traditional
champagne flute, highball glass with ice, or in an old-fashioned glass also on
the rocks. Try making this in a pitcher for guests, or a single drink as listed
below.
Pull up a comfy beach chair and your
favorite magazine-it’s time for Summer. Enough talking…let’s drink.

limoncello with a hand blender until mixture is a slightly chunky, yet smooth
