Everyone craves bubbles in the summer months. Sparkling water, sparkling wine… you can’t go wrong with a little bubbly. Sparkling beverages have always denoted celebration and happiness to me. I associate them with landmark occasions but that shouldn’t discount them from being a part of your summer days. I love fruity cocktails in the summer because they are refreshing and nutritious (yes, nutritious!). Strawberries are the quintessential spring fruit which makes this cocktail an appropriate beverage as we transition from one beautiful season to the next.
