This refreshing spritzer is full of fantastic flavors, including lemon, fresh herbs, and ginger. It’s bright fruity flavor pairs perfectly with the warm earthiness of the culinary herbs and freshly grated ginger for a truly interesting combination. One taste and this is sure to become a new warm weather favorite!

One of my favorite things to do when the weather is warm is sit outside with my book and a good drink. I prefer mocktail recipes to alcohol, but you can certainly add it to any of these drinks to give it a kick especially if you are preparing them for a party.

Most often the ingredients used in these mocktails are those we have at home. The best kind are summertime fruits laying around the kitchen and herbs that we have growing right outside!
