With the summer heat in full swing and the 4th of July just around the corner, a refreshing and bubbly cocktail might just be the relaxation you’ve been looking for. I’m all about a tasty cocktail that is easy to drink and still pretty healthy. This Raspberry Lemon Sparkling Summer Cocktail is the perfect summer beverage that is light, refreshing and healthy(ish). It’ll only be so healthy with liquor in it, but it can be somewhat healthy! My go-to liquor in the summer months and most of the year is vodka, which this yummy cocktail includes. I like to follow the age-old rule that the clearer the liquor, the easier the hangover. I think we can all get on-board with easier hangovers. If you’re on-board like I think/know you are, give this Raspberry Lemon Sparkling Summer Cocktail a try.
