Hey, Reader!

It's time to shake off the winter blues — the temperatures are rising, the grass is getting greener, the daffodils are blooming — and it's starting to truly feel like spring!

While it can feel like the countdown to summer is now on, it's worth slowing down to savor the season. How? With these drinks that capture the essence of spring in a cup!

rhubarb cocktail

This rhubarb cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and tart thanks to vodka, lemon juice and rhubarb syrup. With a light pink color, it's just right for spring celebrations.

elderflower gin cocktail

For a light and refreshing beverage, this elderflower gin cocktail is my go-to. The beautiful floral flavor of elderflower syrup pairs wonderfully with a dry gin and the tartness of fresh lemon juice.

strawberry mimosa

Not much says spring quite like strawberries! Mix up a big batch of ruby-red mimosas for springtime brunches and celebrations. Purée fresh strawberries in the blender, then top it off with your favorite bubbly for a sweet cocktail that's as delicious as it is easy.

honey old-fashioned

This twist on the classic recipe is buzzing with spring flavor! Light floral flavor from the honey blends seamlessly with bourbon to create a light, bright cocktail.

elderflower french 75

​Floral cocktails are such a lovely way to enjoy springtime. This gin- and champagne-based drink brings in zesty lemon and elderflower liqueur. This light and bright cocktail is perfect for celebrations or brunch.

Flower ice cubes are an easy way to dress up your drinks for spring celebrations. They make a splash but are so easy to create! Be sure to use clear ice to let the flowers shine through.

Cheers!
Susannah
